Re: [Digital BW] Wacom Size??

2005-05-14 by Djon

Wacom's online size recommendation (mentioned earlier by someone) has
primarily to do with monitor size: bigger>bigger. The recommendation
for a 19" monitor is 6X8 (very classy: they didn't hint/imply
bigger>better). 

As well, on my crowded desktop I normally have no more than 6X8 in
which to move my Logitek optical mouse (wired)...so I'm used to that
range of movement.
