Got a Bamboo Splash too (sort of eluded to that in an earlier post; lol). I'm not sure how much I'll use the Bamboo since I'm mainly a layers/filter guy, but we shall see. Merry Christmas to all. Hope your Christmas has been special and nice too.



edit:

Nice idea Tux; you're a true inspiration and I decided to edit accordingly.

Nice, Lyle!!

Several months ago, I was given a Bamboo pad as a gift. Hooked it up and got it working in 2.8 but haven't played much with it. I really don't have a "lean in" workstation setup just yet. I have a dedicated media system connected to my 42" LCD, that I'm typing this on right now, but it's not practical for graphics design. It's a "lean back" system. I have a music/recording workstation but that's not practical either. I'm going to have to setup another system as dedicated graphics workstation. Either that or setup my laptop as a graphics design workstation. The LCD screen isn't that great on the lappy tho. What to do, what to do..

I guess this will be the official "List your loot" thread.

Does it count if you bought the items for yourself? If I get any gifts, that's what I'll have to do.

Hauppauge 1600 ATSC Tuner Card (used ebay)
Seagate 1TB SATA Hard Drive (referb eBay)
Lexmark Wireless X4650 All In One Printer/Scanner/Copy/Fax (old hand me down)

That's my loot this year. What's yours?

New #3 computer, HP 1T, i5 intel core, 8 GB Ram, Windows 8..

Now I won't be using that one cuz I like my own with 1T, i5 intel core, 8 GB Ram, Linux Fedora on separate HD 500GB 64 bit and on the other drive 1T, 8 GB, 64 bit i5 and Windows 7.

Good idea Tux; edited the original post accordingly and who cares how you acquired your loot. lolol

Now that you have your new machine Molly, I expect great things to share here using it.

I won't be using that one Lyle, I will stick with mine, that one was for the husband.

haha, Lyle's tux reminds me of one of my pressies....a book that shows you how to fold money origami style, lol. It even has fake bills to practice with. I did not get any electronics this year, but I didn't ask for any as I really don't need anything right now. What I need to do is learn how to better use what I already have!

Just installed my Bamboo. It actually comes with a few utilities including Artrage 3 Studio so I'm actually more happy with that believe it or not. lol

Still awaiting my confirmation email; weird that they have not sent it yet and it's been over 10 minutes. Anyway, happy I am. Just wanted to share that too.

Flame Painter's better too. lol

I'll soon get over it since, as many here know, I'm a filter guy, but still, I'll have a day of fun with the Bamboo anyway.

I got a Bamboo Splash for Christmas too. Tell you the truth I would rather use the wired laser mouse. The bamboo doesn't have the zooming in and out capabilities like the mouse wheel gives. And I hate trying to locate the areas that I want to draw in.

Here's a santa I made using my trusty old mouse and gimp 2.8



Alan

I love the Santa!

Very nice Santa

I got a 750 gig portable HD, already put my whole user folder on it for backup (17 gigs)
also a new wireless mouse that i'm trying to get used to using
i do all my gimping on my laptop with the mouse on the arm

cool alc. You will get used to it.

I agree with you; Good for the occasional writing tasks, but I like my Logitech M705 wireless lazer mouse much better mainly since I can't draw worth cr@p. lol

Still, I'm quite happy that this mouse Bamboo came with ArtRage Studio, but, I'm still perplexed as to why I've yet received my website email comfirmation.

edit: I emailed support and a nice guy fixed me up. Happy that I can now access the forum site and also get my update.

awe....poor Graechan
