I turned 36 last week - and we had a get together this evening - my husband does a pretty good job getting me gifts - but this year - he hit one way out of the park.
Intuis 4 Tablet - the LARGE one!!! I've got the Bamboo tablet - so this is a major upgrade!!! I was TOTALLY not expecting this.
Seagate 500 GB External Harddrive
and a 3 Bay Hot Swap Rack
And a Starbucks gift card... *yeah baby!*
My MIL gave me a 'as seen on t.v.' steamer thing - so that I can steam my backdrops! (Ain't she supportive!)
So I'm shamelessly bragging on him.... he did good! ;)

Happy Birthday!

Cool! My daughter just bought an Intuos 4 (medium sized, 8x6), and it arrived today. She's been playing with it all day, but I finally got to mess with it some tonight. It beats the snot out of the $30 no-name I bought from woot.com.
Cool hubbie ya got there!

Congrats and Happy Birthday!
A couple of questions....
Did you like the Bamboo tablet? What do you like about the Intuous unit?
I'm thinking of getting a Wacom tablet but am wondering if the differences on paper mean much in real life.

The answer to your question is "Production". If you use the tablet several hours a day then the hot keys and customizability make them well worth the price. If you average less than six hours a week in PS you probably won't see a ROI, but you will still enjoy all the neat features. I started with a basic 4X6 and upgraded to a 6X8 Intuous 3. I love it.

Happy BD Donna. I wish I can brag too but I have nothing to brag about. It is great to have good supports from you family on what you do.

Sometimes I have more grace... sometimes he does... sometimes we go to our separate caves and spend time cooling down. But we made a promise - I don't quit on him, he won't quit on me - and there is an amazing amount of security that comes from that.
Thanks for the bday wishes!
