Take the tablet and feel better
This is the first tablet I have used and it is making life a lot easier, as I have problems with my muscles and using my hands so the mouse is now almost redundant. The "artrage" software is a lot of fun and easy to use, so all in all it has been an excellent buy.

First Tablet and Impressed :)
Bought this as i started doing a bit more work with adobe illustrator and flash, and was finding drawing with the mouse really annoying and tedious. I got it today, and i havnt even used the mouse since! takes a little while to get used to, but i find i can do tasks so much faster :) Navigating round the desktop is so fast and i have done more animation today since i got it than in 2 weeks :) Works out of the box, but installed the driver anyway. The zoom pad at the top of the tablet is an excellent feature and the other keys are very useful. Works excellently with all applications ive tried, inc. flash CS3 and Illustrator cs3. The A5 screen is more than big enough and the stylus feels good (a good size and weight). I have only had it for a day so far, and this is my first tablet, so things might change but i would definately recommend so far.

Bamboo Fun - Linux User
I am a long time computer user in need of a solution for the gradual onset of RSI as well as improving photography manipulation via the Gimp. My current set up is Linux Ubuntu, Hardy Heron.
I had a few concerns regarding about setting up the tablet on Linux, having read many threads on the process required, but decided to take the plunge.
Setting up the tablet on Linux was not simple, but with so many useful pages to visit I eventually managed to get up and running.
Wow. Why didn't I do this years ago. I haven't touched the mouse for three days and what a difference. The pain in my forearm is now a distant memory, even after such a sort space of time.
Photo manipulation is awesome. As mentioned above, I use the Gimp, and it works like a dream. Have been busy doing some post processing, and it is so much easier. It has always been a struggle to select areas of photographs with the mouse. With the tablet it is a breeze.
I would recommend this tablet to anyone with the same problems I had.
