Re: Got my new tablet
Just be sure not to lose the pen
My fiancee broke hers the other day, and it cost about $80 to get another one.

Yeah, those things are expensiveeeee.I thought I lost the pen to my Bamboo at one point, but I ended up finding it lodged behind my desk 3 days later. No idea how it got there, either. :-\Jackolantern wrote:Just be sure not to lose the penMy fiancee broke hers the other day, and it cost about $80 to get another one.

Re: Got my new tablet
What makes those freaking pens so expensive?! I looked inside her broken pen (which is an Intuoso 2, or something like that), and there was nothing electronic inside it as far as I could see.

I have no idea why they're so expensive. It really doesn't seem like theres a whole lot to them, especially to make them worth $80. Who knows.

Re: Got my new tablet
The pens are so expensive because you can't use the tablet without one 
If you could use any other device to draw on the tablet, then pens would only be $10
