I just got a wacom bamboo tablet in the mail today from someone in Detroit Michigan, I haven't used it yet, cause new to the whole thing, but I was wondering if anyone here mailed me it??? (If someone here did, how'd you get my address)

lucky guy!

i hope somebody may found MY address i need a Wacom too !!

Congratulations to you Mike but both of you think too small. If someone mails me 2 Million dollars, I would be quite happy indeed. lol

Don't look a gift reindeer in the mouth...

That is great Mike. Just enjoy it and don't worry who sent it.
I have one and I don't even use it. I just couldn't get attached to the pen, I find it awkward. anyway, PC, I wish I could send you mine but I think I would be in trouble with the person that bought it for me, cuz he got tired of listening to me whining about wanting one.
I do use the tablet though with the mouse that came with it,

I'm happy I got one, but I wanna findout whoever sent it how they got my address. As I only know 3 people who lived in Detroit, 1 is in prison, and the other 2 our out here, and I talk to 1 everyday, and the other I just skateboard with, and has no idea about my computer geekiness.

I wonder why I got it on Christmas Eve though. (I'm looking on how to use it on Linux right now)

I'm very fond of my bamboo, it's addictive.

Early delivery from Santa?

Enjoy your tablet. Sounds like you've got it up and running.

Obviously Santa sent it to you, Mike. I live somewhat near Detroit, but it wasn't me. I do understand your curiousity about the address, though.

trace a address may be easier of what you may think, even if you are not officially registered there
Sure is strange that somebody did it to make anonymously a present .

But think positive:
much better a hidden friend than a hidden enemy

I wish someone would mail me a tablet.

Well I'd rather have a hidden friend, than a hidden enemy. I'm gonna ignore who gave me it, and just enjoy it. I guarantee I'll have questions though about using it.

good for you. It gives a fuzzy feeling to know you are appreciated.

Santa is awesome!
Congrats Mike ... =)

Since you have shared your snail mail address with me (and I do live near Detroit), I feel I should assure you that I did not send you a graphics pad; nor have I shared your address with anyone.

I'm glad to hear of your good fortune, nonetheless.

I hope you find out who sent the tablet, if only to set your mind at ease about the address.

Is it Christmas? <--- LOL

After giving it a try, I don't care who sent it now, maybe later if cops show up at my door, but after trying it I gotta say I look, and read about them online, but actually trying one out is a great feeling, however it's gonna be hard to get used to, cause of the touch sensitivity as the lighter you brush the lighter it shows, and of course flip what I said same for darker.

So far I like my mouse better, but maybe that's cause I haven't got the whole feel of it, but I do think this is one killer product. I wonder if there's a way to make an actual laptop touchpad into a graphics tablet?

Anyway to help me get the hang of this device better, do any of you guys know of some good painting tutorials I can checkout specifically with this device???

there are tons of them out there Mike. Here is one....

Try writing your name with the tablet and then with the mouse and you'll see the advantages.

I would be a bit concerned about the address too, but I think someone was just trying to give you a nice surprise.
Did you buy something online from a store that carries tablets, or from ebay from someone who would possibly sell a tablet later on. Maybe you got mixed up with another customer...
