RE: [Digital BW] Tablets was Burning Skies (feathering)

2002-09-10 by Lloyd O'Daniel

Martin,
 
I have a 6x8 tablet. I just didn't have the desk space to go to a 9x12.
I think 6x8 is a bit cramped when using the mouse. I stopped doing that
because I write left-handed but mouse right-handed. It was a hassle
swapping the tablet from one side of the keyboard to the other. My
solution was to add the Logitech cordless optical mouse. Works great
with the tablet, which now is always to the left while the mouse is
always to the right.

Thanks to Carolyn, Moreno, R, Tony, and James, for all the input on the
tablets. Seems to be a pretty good consensus that they are a wonderful
tool
and that the Wacom Intuos 2 is the one to buy. The Cintiq looks very
nice
but a tad out of my range at the moment. The 9x12 sounds large and the
4x5 a
little small so the 6x8 might be a good compromise for me. I gather a
tablet
runs in parallel with a mouse allowing you to switch back and forth as
desired. Could I keep my faithful Logitech mouse or do you have to use
the
mouse that comes with the tablet?

How is the learning curve in switching to a tablet?
