Computer Graphics Tablets

[Burning-Torso (Straxus)]

So I ordered one on amazon. Been wanting to get back into drawing but would rather do it on the computer. This should be different and hopefully interesting.
Ordered a factory refurbished Wacom, as Wacom is suppost to be the best from what I have read.
Now I would normaly never buy anything refurbished from bad experiences years ago, however 40 out of 41 reveiwers gave the refurbished tablet a 5 star rating. The one guy that gave it a 1 star sounded like a retard, so didn't take his rating too seriously.

So have you guys use Graphic Tablets?
Experiences?

Not yet. Still coloring with my mouse.
How much did it set you back?

Yeah, I got a refurbished Wacom bamboo from Amazon for Christmas. It's a great little device. Much better than the piece of crap off-brand one I had been using. No problems at all with it being refurbished, and it still came with all of the bundled software (which is actually full versions, not just 30-day trial crap.

Thats the one I picked up. Was $43.99
When I got back from the store I installed the software and was going though the tutorial. Too tired to do much more with it tonight but plan on doing more with it tommorrow.

EDIT - and my bad. the 1 star rating guy that sounded like a tard was not in the reveiw for that tablet, was one of the other tablet reveiws.

Yeah, that's the same one I got, but in black. Great tablet.
