:/ I don't particularly like apple, actually. THough I don't like microsoft, but so far it is the most practical ones. As in, many programmes are designed for microsoft platform. besides, mac is expensive. I hate expensive stuff.

As for wacom, few years back, it is really the only choice, so I have no choice. But now I am waiting for sneaky China company to produce cheaper and enough quality product to compete. So far there are alternative brands, Yiynova, Bosto, Ugee...
