# hmmm... well I was gonna get a new wacom tablet
as soon as both my car tax and MOT are out the way next month, might have to think about looking for a Cintiq if I can get it at that price...

JJ- is it really as good as it looks (ie no lag or anything)?

# Takes a bit of getting used to.
It's not like drawing on paper OR using a traditional Wacom tablet.

Also: it's technically a dual screen set-up, which takes a little while to get to grips with
(but even longer to set up properly!)

# I'm on a dual screen setup too. At the moment I'm only using the top half of my tablet so it's still absolute positioning with the extra wide monitor set up.
Which unfortunately renders half my tablet useless :(

# They are excellent.
but one pain in the arse is that you will have to get used to setting up your workspace in an unfamiliar way because if you are right handed then your arm covers a lot of your palettes and there is only so much important stuff you can program on the tablet keys and stroke pads.
