the current sale on Wacom website, for old versions of bamboo tablets is a "fake sale".Going there to buy a new copy of bamboo Model CTL-450A (the old verrsion) will not get you one; they don't have them, every company on the web is selling a "old version bamboo,"often a "loss-leader" hooked to Ebay(many of them) as thiis is a ploy to get vanished customers on Ebay again.(cause Ebay is a HOLE,have you noticed?/)

All over the web, are"old model bamboo sales"
, BUTonce you can't find the one you want,and NEED,they will only try to sell you a crappy bad NEW ONE.in my experience, the new ones manual is so complex, a mere bamboo artist(not a techie)can't understand it! (mine does not function well, Wacom says they will email me instructions for downloading a new driver off their site, mine never worked i hate the thing!cheap looking piece of plastic junk,like a tin-can:)


and it cost MUCH MORE!MORE COST for INCREASED CRAP!))NO WONDER people want to buy the old ones!Wacom itself may be "over with". i need to try OTHER COMPANIES)if there are any; anyone know a good review-tablets-site, please pm me.)

If i could, i would go to electronics repair, and get my old model FIXED! DOES ANY companies doing this? if all new bamboos are junk like mine,electronic people will start to get their old models refurbished and fixed. This is an ongoing trend in all appliances and electronic items; all the standards of new ones have gone DOWN, a lot, and all the prices of new ones have gone WAY UP. That means, everyone will try to keep their old ones and just have them repaired as long as they can.) This is happening in every single kind of appliance and electronic item no matter what it is.EVERYBODY is having this problem, no matter who they are.


However, this is an opportunity for all electronics– savvy,people, even people who only repair things as a hobby, because everybody will want all their old stuff repaired instead. And that includes, pen tablet sets. They do not seem to be let out of this problem. So if you, or anybody you know, has a tendency to like electronic repair of all kinds, you are going to be in pretty good times. I have the version number 11, of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and I wish I had kept my version number nine. However, version number 12 has been reviewed online as so bad,it's unusable, I'm going to hang on to the number 11, because at least it barely works.and after that, I will make a huge effort, to only buy OLD VERSIONS wherever I can get them, of Dragon NaturallySpeaking.


isn't this a wonderful future? We will all be roaming the garage sales, Goodwill stores, or wherever they could have them (forget eBay, or any of the big jerks)and putting ads in craigslist's to find appliances of people who have just kicked off.I'm not letting go of my mother's table and teaspoons set, for measuring. And somebody stole my very old metal sifter, right out of my kitchen!(now I am very paranoid about anybody working here, in my place) I was even told that my dad old tools, like metal shovels? An old pickax? Stuff like that would be valuable!

If you don't put away all your old tools and your old stuff, depending on what state and area you live in, people will try to filch them.( On the other hand, this is Oregon, and Lane County, and we have hideous property crime, burglary, you name it.you have to have a large safe at home, a large dog, and a handgun. And those are just the little old ladies! – In this state, even in this liberal political area, people are taking gun lessons like crazy, and getting their licenses to carry. There won't be anybody walking around without a handgun on. Yes, unfortunately I'm not exaggerating.)


any information you have on how to get old model bamboo tablet pen sets, let me know.I'm going to trawl for electronics repair people here, but I'm not optimistic.
you guys who are electronic savvy repair people;you may have the job of the future.
