Hi everyone…I just found this Wacom online, new, at a store near my house. It is only $79.99 (+ tax), which is definitely in my price range. I want your opinions on whether this is a worthy investment. It is only 4x5, and I would like to know if that’s a bad thing or not…I’ve never used a tablet, but really want one.
I would like any advice as soon as possible…I don’t want the store to run out before I can get one.
Thanks! Slosh
Here is the description from the Circuit City website:
