Meet My New Toy!

I got me a new toy over the weekend.
It's none other than Bamboo™ Fun from Wacom!!!




*does little jiggy*

I got a tablet, I got a tablet,
I GOT A TABLET, WEI!!!




This is exactly how mine looks like. Wakakaka.

Check out the specs of this baby: -

Heh. Sweet.

As I said before, it's available in Silver, White, Black and Blue. And personally, I think the electric blue a bit tak jadi. *shiver* But... my silver one not bad, right? Mine is so cool, right? AND, not only is my little fella so cool, he (yes, he's male) even comes with a host of features and benefits, too!

Go get your own. You won't regret it.
(BIG HINT: Shan't tell you the price lest it turns you off.)


Each Bamboo Fun package includes:

1. Bamboo Fun pen tablet
2. Bamboo Fun mouse (A wireless one that's only to be used on the tablet and not on any other surface.)
   
3. Bamboo Fun pen (A little too stout for my hands but... I'll survive.)
   
4. Pen stand (Only useful if your tablet is glued to the table. Otherwise, it's a total waste of comp bag space.)
   
5. USB cable
6. Quick start guide (Plenty of helpful tips for the tablet noob.)
   
7. Installation CD (Includes tablet driver and electronic user manual.)
8. Software DVD that includes: Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 Win/4.0 Mac, Corel Painter Essentials 3.0, and Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 GE (For now, I like the Corel Painter best. Still need to test it out properly though. Am currently such a noob when it comes to working it. -_-)
   

9. Package of 3 replacement pen nibs (These little fellas cost RM55 for a pack of 5 otherwise.)
   

So, I've installed it...

...and breezed through the Getting Started tutorial.




Now all I need is a funky project
to work on, that's worthy of my new tablet.
