yes, it is a nightmare; (tell me which section of the forum, to post this on please) I got the new one above, when I had been using the old one which was perfectly understandable and usable, and not a nightmare to you or just or even understand the manual. It was FUNCTIONAL and UNDERSTANDABLE. The new one is not. I phoned them up, they said the designers are in CHINA. Ha ha, on us!
I wish somebody on this website, would please tell me the brand name of other art tablet and pans, because I'm seriously considering dumping this brand; completely. No more bamboo, no more idiocy.Wacom bamboo pen tablet sets are no longer halfway DECENT, so please tell me of any other brands of pen tablet for art, any, no matter where they come from. I don't care if they come from Germany, France, or Timbuktu. I am so sick of Wacom bamboo, and having to call up their customer care line, because the stupid thing can't even scroll, or do any of its functions! I have to take off the driver, and download a driver from their website! Just to get the stupid CRAP to work!
if any of you artists anywhere, no of other types of drawing tablet and pen, no matter how expensive, just so they work very well for art. And you can understand them. Understanding is very very necessary, I so wish now I could speak Mandarin like my dad could, I would give China an earful! AH-SO!

It would've been fun to be bilingual that way instead of with Spanish. There seems to be a big great wall between us and China, so any American companies or any other companies that do good pen tablet, I want to know about now!let me know, and please transfer this over to another section if it's in the wrong section; thank you good luck!

go to ebay and see if you can get a used Wacom Graphire 4CTE440 silver

My Wacom Bamboo Splash works fine. Except I haven't drawn anything with it really.

I have a Bamboo pen tablet.. it's always worked fine and I haven't even changed a nib yet.
