So I've been using a e3works "stylo" tablet for about a year now. It works great and is fully up to the job of the Wacom equivalent product. AND it costs almost 1/2 as much AND has over 1,000 levels of pressure sensitivity (almost as sensitive as ME!).

ANYWAY, about a week ago I made the mistake of loaning it to my fiancé and it never came back. So I just went to buy another one and found out that, if you buy it from the suppliers directly ( http://e3works.com/home.php?cat=248 ) it is even more affordable at about $50 US! And they got it to me in about 2 1/2 days!

So, I know very often a thread opens up asking about tablets and digital pens and such - so I thought I'd post this as perhaps some of you will have extra Xmas Cash to spend and might like to get yourselves a good deal on one of these things!

BTW I was not asked by e3works to do this, but they have been very nice to deal with and I like to promote 'nice' people doing business!

Final Note: Peace now reigns at the ReinMan household - happy drawing to all, and to all a good night!

so what happened to your finger?

The real question is... What happened to your body!? It's turning into a blue cardboard box!!!

Finger: Dishwashing Incident - much blood, minor damage

Body: Getting Old, but (pay attention ladies!) gaining EXPERIENCE!

now you know what you can get me for Christmas.

Thanks for the info Reinman....i just bought one to add to my xmas list. This is a great buy. I just bought illustrator cs2 a few weeks ago...and this will be a nice addition as I venture out into the land of vector art

i bet, ReinGuy just bought that box because of the 2 ladies (upper right corner)

hmmm... methinks that i want one....

anyone else notice that Rein always has an amusing expression on his face in pictures?

This is, of course, because I am AMUSED.

Cool!

I may have to get one of these.

Rein,
Thanks for the referral. I just ordered the "stylo" tablet.
I also looked for a place on the site where a credit of some kind could be awarded to the person who referred someone else to the site. Alas, I found nothing. If you are aware of a site policy that rewards customers who refer new customers to the site, please let me know, and I will forward your name to the appropriate customer service department. It seems to me that you earned a little slice of the company pie, which it ought to be willing to share, especially during this Christmas season!
Meanwhile, all the best for a terrific Christmas holiday and thanks again for taking the time to forward information on a good deal!

I'm glad that my "notice" was of use to some people.

As I said, Arjuna (the dude at e3works) has been very nice to deal with, and when I've had tech questions he's been prompt and helpful. And the product works well at a good price.

Enjoy Enjoy! If you work hard you may some day be able to do Amazing Artwork such as I DO!

Hey I registered just so I could give you a thanks man. I like to doodle and this little tablet will be god enough for that. I'm going to start "chopping" the day I get it.

Helen left you?!?!

er, umm.... Helen is a "SHE" not an "IT". The Stylo is an "IT".... and it is an IT that never came back not a "SHE" so you can stop getting your hopes up (or anything else up, for that matter) DutchyMan!
