Someone else is getting the NAS, so no more of those. __________________ And now, Grandfather, I ask you to bless the White Man. He needs your Wisdom, your guidance.

But a camera for our visual-design person is possible since he supplies us with textures, so it can be stretched pretty loose. but it is to complete computer graphics related activities, it's not a blank check. __________________ And now, Grandfather, I ask you to bless the White Man.

That was top on my list after he turned down the Centiq. (had to try) So far: UPS for my partner, that will make the third 2200Va UPS in our offices. $650 GlDebugger, one for each of us 2@450.00 Spare graphics cards: 2@350.00 4-6 Intuos3 tablets @405.00 each (this will probably replace the mouse) maybe some xtra small hard-drives for everyone in the group... I have been using my personal 2.5gig drive, as has my partner, it's time my office got us one. __________________ And now, Grandfather, I ask you to bless the White Man.

I'm still irratated that I'm forced to use a puny 9x12 Intuous 3, just to take advantage of the ArtPen. I miss my 12x18. But some day, hopefully sooner then later, I'll have my Cintiq and eat it. Get one of these. <]=) __________________ I be a hearty pirate that plunders many waffles. The Dread Pirate Monkey Gizmo has scurvy! :) Nintendo DS and Wii, me gaming machines of choice.

We all got the MX1000 last year

It's the only mouse I've ever been complimented on.

No such thing as useless data....

Well, Jack.... cover your ears, take your heart meds, or practice your deep breathing excersizes.

I decided I am giving up the Cintiq to our visual designer/tech writer. It doesn't work well in dual wide monitor setups (works fine for clone), but I work better in dual-view mode where I can restrict my application to one monitor and keep all my debugging/menus and other control on the other monitor. So I am taking the intuos3 and giving the Cintiq away.

someone prepare a bucket of water... I think he'll faint....
