Re: [microsound] intuos3 vs bamboo

[craquemat <craque@xxxxxxxxxx>]

we actually just got a bamboo, it's an excellent tablet. amazon has a 
good price on the medium, which is really what you need for good working 
space.

i'd definitely recommend it if you're already considering a wacom and 
just want a good price point. a professional story-boarder/designer 
friend of mine uses the intuos but recommends the bamboo any day.

the mouse isn't especially useful, but it's really cool surfing the web 
with a pen... i actually like the paradigm of "pull the page down" 
instead of "scrollbar", effectively a reverse of the direction you move 
your hand. strangely enough it feels more natural.
