As long as you don't try to ship him with me... ('cos I'm Twi'!)

I'm glad I converted myself somehow xD I can't even remember how that happened... must've been magic
But yeah I found here because of Allegrezza.

And something else: Paint tool SAI just expired, and I don't really like the way I create my stuff anymore. Blurry photos and a laptop mouse... I dunno... I'm thinking about getting a graphics tablet!
So the options I'd have are:
Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch S (~86€)
- the drawing area can be used like a touchpad (multi-touch) or with a pen
- the 4 buttons next to the drawing area can be customized
- it comes with photoshop elements 8 and ArtRage 3
Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch S (~76€)
- same as above but less Fun. Which means, no Photoshop or ArtRage included.
Wacom Bamboo Pen S (~54€)
- no finger touching, pen only. (by the way those things can be toggled on the other ones of course)
- ArtRage 2.6 only
All of these three:
- size: 278 x 176 x 11 mm (a little less than a normal sheet of paper [A4] )
- usable touch area thingy: 147 x 92 mm ( about 1/4 of a normal sheet of paper)
So I don't really think I need that fancy multi-touch stuff. I want something to draw on. And any tablet with a bigger drawing area (atleast from wacom. and I haven't checked any other's; Wacom seems to be the best) always doubles the price or even is far above 200€... and I have never used a tablet so I don't want to spend that much money on it.
I talked to someone I knew from another forum, because about 3-4 years ago, when we were still active in said forum he had bought a tablet (Bamboo Fun S, not the current one obviously). But from what I've seen from him... umm... either it's really hard to draw decent lines with a tablet even after 4 years, or he is really bad at drawing. I mean, he showed me some of his sketches on paper, and the same thing on the tablet, and his lines were jittery and not very straight. Now I'm not sure how this is gonna work out for me. I read a review on amazon saying that someone got a tablet with a very jumpy jittery cursor, and it's not supposed to do that? I'm gonna have to ask him if it's like that for him, otherwise dunno...
Soooo... am I gonna spend a little less than 90€ on the first tablet with photoshop and artrage? I haven't seen artrage, but it seems to be similar to PT SAI.
Or I could spend 50€ on the basic Bamboo Pen S and get a PT SAI license for 50€.
But I'll wait with this for some time; for one I still have to convince myself that I'm enough of an artist to buy a freakin' graphics tablet
and two, I'm not sure about the software decision there yet, and about the tablets itself.
I have a feeling this post is long and filled with unnecessary stuff about graphics tablet. I hope not everyone will say "tl;dr" and ignore it
