Bamboo tablet

[Auntlinny]

What the flipperty flip are these things? I am a keen photographer and have seen these things mentioned as being the bees knees on photo discussion boards but I am not brave enough to ask what they are. How do they work and what do they do!

You can use them to sign your signature, save it as a jpg. and then, when you write letters and emails, you can add the photo signature at the end. It looks just like a real signature.

You can also use it for drawing - it has a pen. You open your programme (I think Artrage comes with the pack), and then you draw or colour, etc. on the pad, and it shows up onscreen, in your programme. I am not an expert, and I'm sure it does other things too - my grandson does all his A-Level art work using his tablet. Mine is a Wacom Bamboo, which is old, an was at the cheaper end of the market.
