Tablet stuff & Chu-news

Hello people. :3
I'm thinking about getting a new tablet. While my Bamboo has served me well, the new Pen & Touch -line of tablets from Wacom sound like something really sweet with the multitouch capabilities and added precision. So far I've been unable to decide if I should get an A6 or A5 version: I've been happy with A6, and with the limited working space on my desk it might be more practical, and ~100e cheaper. But from what I've heard, most artists recommend the bigger one for drawing. Tough decision. x_x;
Here are a couple of links in case you got interested as well:
Wacom's official page
Video review (Youtube)
(They should give me a discount for advertising. :B)
Since my Christmas vacation has practically started, it's probably safe to expect at least some sort of art from me during the next weeks, unless Dragon Age Origins, Civilization IV and Mass Effect get me completely. x3 I will continue working on commissions though, of course~
Got my swine flu shot yesterday, feeling sore all over now. xP

I want the M (A5) version. The S (A6) one is too small, and the L (A4) one is too big, sooo…
As for the size, I'm still not sure which works best for myself. ^^; I might try the medium, I can always sell it if it's not the right size for me.
If you decide to buy the new Bamboo tablets, though, you should choose a model that is big, to counterbalance the precision lost by not choosing an Intuos.
Thank you for the opinion. :3 I keep hearing that, so it seems at the moment I will get the A5 version... Still not sure though, I will have to see how much money I have left when I'm done getting Christmas presents for family & friends. You're right btw, it seems the resolution of Intuos4 is exactly twice that of Bamboo's, pressure levels too.
i do want a cintiq, though, but mostly so i can say i have one. ^^
and i hope the side effects from the flu shot go away soon! *cuddles*
Well, I'm pretty sure me and Tiu will get one eventually too, but that's faaaar away in the future. x3
I'm feeling better already. My arm still hurts whenever I try to move it too much, but the overall soreness is gone. :3
