Evening, all. Hope you're feeling better this evening,
Robinia. I loved the Sri Lanka footage on the Duran video. I'm gonna force the graphics tablet info on you, or I'll forget:
Wacom introduced a pen tablet where you draw
directly on the screen in 2001, it's called the Cintiq and there are several different versions of it, by now. The Cintiq 21UX is probably what you should go for when you win the lotteries again or marry Paul McCartney, but... the version I was reading about is the new, smaller and cheaper one, the Wacom Cintiq 12WX. The review was very positive, but there were a couple of flaws that do sound annoying, like for instance you tend to hit the side buttons by mistake, and also the zoom doesn't go automatically to integers: left to its own devices it lands on inbetween numbers as well, which makes it impossible for Photoshop (or whatever programme you're using) to perform good interpolations. I'm sure you can set the zoom at whatever value you want, it just seems annoying to have to think about doing that - but please don't trust me or the reviewer on this one, find out for yourself. Another drawback is the amount of wires... but all in all he did like it very much, that's the bottom line.

Yes! Yes
Shaney, that was indeed the book! Thanks a lot. Have you read it? Not much blood in it, eh?
Vinny's little movie is a lesson to us all, to be sure. (A lesson in French, c'est-�-dire!)
Good luck with herding this lot to Eastbourne,
Neti... they can barely be herded to their computers once a day! Should we worry about
Jude yet?
