Funny you mention that davinci, since my computer chair is the couch and the mouse rests on the cushion it's never really been a problem.

Looking forward to making some great stuff...hopefully!

I am just about to buy a pen tablet, how do you feel about the bamboo Wacom? Does it work pretty well for these kinds of boards? I spend a significant amount of time drawing and painting online, I have arthritis in my hands, and the touchpads I use for drawing make my hands move around too much; a pencil, or pen stuck in one hand, would not do so much movement with my fingers and hands; better for the arthritis. So, what kind of tablet pen, and pen tablet, do you recommend? Anybody got any advice? most expensive Wacom? Or do the cheaper ones of different brands work pretty well? Really like any advise people would give me, because I'm about to spring for one, and I want to get something fairly good. Thanks all.:).

I know somebody who suffer's from arthritus and they use one of the intuos 4 line's wacom tablet, because it has a grip pen.Ive alway's used a mouse, even though ive got a tablet ive only used it a few times.

I have a Wacom Bamboo..and a Wacom Graphire...The bamboo is ok...but I much prefer the Graphire...I started out with a mouse..worked with that for two years before I got a tablet and now you couldn't pay me enough to go back to the mouse...lol...but i think either one of those is good..

I just got a bamboo fun (small) this week because my tablet pc crashed. I like it!! I'm very happy with my bamboo fun with the few days that I've been using it. I actually use the eraser part for drawing because I find it more comfortable. I use a cloth on the active area(or a sock or a handkerchief) (I used a sock the first time until my mother gave me a handkerchief) to protect the pen and the active area. I notice That I've been pushing too hard. That can cause a scratch in the active area and the pen nib to dull down. So the cloth works for cheap protection. LOL cool drawing!
