Art on Macs? Tablet questions? Sounds like Art talk to me

--------------------------------------------

I don't use a Mac. In fact just I don't like using them. When I bought my PC, It was nessasary to get a mouse with 4 buttons + scroller/button, to save time and the one button mice on Macs just bug me- I don't like using keyboard keys to navigate as much as a mouse. Having a Mac as well also means having to learn a whole new set of shortcut keys for your sortware..
But I will admit they don't crash hald as much as Windows XP >_<

As for tablet- Wacom Intudos A4 Size (12x10 inches) Had it over a year now and great f you do a lot of PhotoShop work, or enjoy Oekaki/PaintChat or are suffering from health problems such as wrist indury or RSI from mouse usage.

I got a Mac nearly two years ago (a nice upgradeable G4). Took a while to get used to it but I think I have now.

I hear what you're saying about the mouse. P*ssed me off as well (once I got over the infra red ). I destroyed witha hammer at Christmas. It's bin replaced with a three button (inc the wheel) mouse but hopefully soon I'll get one of those five button ones.

Just looking for other Mac users cos i don't know any and help could be a good thing.

I'm afraid I've only spent 3 days working on a G3, so I'm no expert..

Ahh, One other good thing about Macs is they look REALLY cool (the new ones)

hey not only the new ones their classic Macs are cute(in quite a geek way).
I have one only for the look (not in use but looks really cool besides of two Monitors

).
But I wonder what they could fit into one of them when you see this

Oh and I have a graphire tablet as well.
Before of this I had a Genius around A3 but no pressure sensitiv (and I like the small ones better).
