[TriLUG] drawing tablet review

[Tim Jowers via TriLUG]

Hi Scott,

tap, selection, drag work fine in Gimp. Context menu button did work.
Eraser did not work. Other buttons did not work in Gimp but worked in other
apps. YMMV, I am not a graphics artist; there may be things to configure to
make those work.
Did not observe any pressure sensitivity (thought the line would become
more thin or think perhaps).
As other reviews said: it has good sensitivity and works fine with upright
pen or slanted pen. Could try other stuff...???
Does not have a screen to put over a photo for tracing. That's what I liked
about the old wacom tablet. I could print the photo and slide it under the
screen and then trace to cut in the onscreen image.
