# Flowers?


Yet another excuse to ask a question: I'm looking at buying a tablet for my home PC, but being pikey I'm wondering whether I'll get away with an A6 one? I've got an A5 one at work, will I notice the difference?

Yes, you will.

# Thats pretty
I'd say go as big as you can. Especially if you do stuff like this.

# Is there a penis/tablet ratio?
Will girls infer things from owning the bigger one?




Thanks everyone btw, I'm going to go for the bigger one (I figured it would be so, but I'm feeling poor as I'm about to move house).

Yes, you'll notice, and it will bother you.
I'm with SSS, if you use it for this kind of thing then buy the biggest you can afford. You're only going to want to upgrade later anyway.

# i agree with SSS and mofaha
cos they know what they're talking about, i use a twenty quid A5 trust one. and it does everything i want, but i don't want it to do much.
also i thought the pen movements were relative to screen size, so it didn't really matter how big the pad was, but i guess i'm wrong.

# no, connor you are also a highly respected source of valuable information.
only fools was shit, only found humorous by the chav classes, and ex pats.
also my pad thing may be a A6, can never remember which is which , which is the bigger one?

also, i've never been anywhere near the middle east and my step grandad was a russian jewish tailor, already.

# the pen movements are relative to screen size
so with a larger pad it's more sensitive, because the same physical distance represents a smaller part of the screen. you dig?

like i said i'm a amateur old hack, as long as it cuts and pastes it's good enough for me.

# that's nice
I suggest rubbing clotted cream on your temples and deciphering whether money is available for a decent A5 one

# I bought a tablet for my PC off the interwebs
it was rubbish! They promised it would make my penis larger, and no matter how often I plugged it into the USB port it clearly didn't.

# Do you trace on the tablet
and do you use the tablet to represent the screen or as a base (i.e, if you move your stylus halfway across the tablet and then back to the side and half way across again does it flick back to the side or add the second motion on)

I use the tablet to represent the screen and never use the tablet for tracing and I actually prefer to spend my money on smaller ones. For the same money a smaller one will respond much better. With larger tablets you're paying a lot for size and I don't feel the gain.

I like your image, btw.

# also, you need a bigger desk,
and a good desk doesn't come cheap, also requires more time spent on maintaining it.
these are things that are often overlooked.

# THIS, dear lord yes
I have an A4 wacom and a very big desk. Along with all the other crap theres barely any room for my tea.

# i knew it
no one ever thinks of this.
i have a little flip top school desk, and i had to get a new sawn-off keyboard, a rubber, tea proof, no numbers one, which incidentally is crap, because with tea, ashtray and other assorted crap, i had no room to move.

I'm mucking about with drawing stuff in Illustrator so I do find I'm doing quite long movements. Although it's hard to gauge as I'm not thinking about my hand movement as I do it.

# That makes sense and it is down to personal preference,
but I tried several and I bought a smaller tablet because I found it to be more useful.

# Ooh nice flowers.
I'm hopefully getting an A4 tablet next month. i think it's best to see what you prefer. I tried an A5 one and it just felt a bit too small. I know it would do me but I prefer the A4 for comfort.
