As per recommendations from various people my bamboo pen has been purchased and should be in my happy little hands in 9 or 10 days. Now the waiting starts

How exciting! Don't forget to post your first 'work of art'!

yes yes for sure...id love to have a pad. =)
maybe at the end of the year....possibly.

Which one are you getting? The regular bamboo pen?

Yes, the bamboo pen. I can afford that one and it looks good. As for posting my first piece of art, I have 3 words: fat chance. The third word is up to you. I have NO artistic ability in this area. My talent is writing and fixing things. I've watched people post their work every day since I've been here and nothing I could do could be even close to it. It isn't for lack of understanding the software or understanding the design theory and convention, it's because I have no talent. Point me at anything broken and I'll fix it Fix yes, design no.

lol, I have zero artistic talent, which is why I have no tablet!

I'm getting it because my 54th birthday is coming up and I always wanted a tablet. I'm running out of birthdays so I'm doing wacky things now while I can. Next year I'm going to buy a $60 bottle of Absinthe, I always wondered what it tastes like.

Lol, couldn't you just order a glassfull in some fancy bar? I treated myself to an iphone when I got my first social security check, so I know how it is to think you might as well go for broke while you can, lol.

Fancy bars? no such thing where I live. This is pure downtown hicksville, you can't walk down the street without seeing camo wherever you look and every guy is named Billy Joe Jim Bob.
And thats mt plan for now, It'll probably change in the next year. I'm usually pretty tight when it comes to spending on me.
