Just recieved mine. This thing is awesome. Just don't try gaming with it (yeah, yeah, I know, but I had to try anyways). Takes some getting used to, but if you're into PS (I'm still stuck on PS6, I can't afford the upgrade to CS or CS2 yet), this thing makes a WORLD of a difference. i have yet to try it in Flash, or Illustrator, but, I'm sure the effect would be the same. Tiger has a great deal on it.

(that's the Canadian site). Being that this is my first tablet, I really have nothing to compare it to other than a mouse and having tried a small 4" X 5" tablet (Wacom Intuos3), this thing kicks it's ass. For less than $300 CAD, I can already blow past what would have taken me over an hour using a mouse inside of 10 mins with this thing. Comes with a bunch of software I'm not really interested in, but I may install them just to try. I may be just excited because it's a new toy, but then again, it's also the first time I've felt necessary to post in this part of the forums. Less than 3 hours with this thing and I'm still ecstatic. The more I work with it, the easier it gets. Only thing I didn't like was the shipping. Tiger ships UPS, and they are supposed to require a signature for delivery. The box was left on my doorstep where anyone could have made off with it. I've half a mind to write them and do something dirty and underhanded and say I never recieved it and get a second one. But, this thing is just too cool, and I couldn't care less! (I'm still going to write them and see if I can get the shipping charge on my next purchase waived).
