I'll be sure to update that on my page info.

As for news I have been looking at acquiring a Photoshop license and a 24HD Cintiq. Only draw back is- they are sold out of the tablet everywhere I look. I'd rather not buy a second hand 21UX on EBAY with screen blemishes and have the pen with the unit to start straight away with drawing.

Even the main page is sold out, and I understand it's a new product but I thought the 2700 price tag alone would deter people enough to not buy them out. I can only guess the industry has eaten them up. It bugs me it claims to be HD when it's a DVI port and not a HDMI plug connector. Maybe I read the specs wrong on connectivity, or don't understand how far DVI can go in terms of resolution; but I saw no improvements other than 3 inches more than the 4 year old 21UX.

I'd rather not buy a new 12UX. Even a used one is 500- and putting that towards a better product may make all the difference.

I'll just have to wait. Ebay doesn't even have any auctions of 24HD up since the product is so new. If anyone has experience with said product please tell me your opinions on it. I've seen a variety of reviews in the last 4 months of shopping for one.

I've backed up all my data. I'm not gonna repeat that mistake again a third time. WD 1TB drive USB 3.0 keeps me up to date. UPS works fine. Wacom instous 3 still works great, so I'll just grin and bear it.

I hope you're all well.
