Take a Tablet

A number of years ago I picked up a cheap Hanvon graphics tablet. I thought I could use it with Gimp on my PC. It did not work very well, probably because my PC was very old, even then, but also it probably didn't work too well with Gimp. I'd draw a circle and all kinds of chords would also get drawn in some kind of weird skip/repetition of points thing. No idea what was causing it, since the pen and drawing worked fine in the setup panel. I pretty much set it aside and never used it again, since it was too late to return it.

Well, since getting this new awesome PC, and installing the "free" Photoshop CS5, I finally decided to have another go at it. Downloaded the latest drivers and set it up.

Success!

Now if only I could draw.

(I also have a 3D mouse, which has limited application in regular programs, but is cool as hell in things like Google Sketchup, and absolutely Awesome in Second Life.)
