>> Sean (was I too strong in this post?) In my personal opinion, not at all. In the pre-Windows days (when 12×12 digitizers cost over $1000,) the Calcomp boards were the absolute best. Accurate, easy to configure, responsive, and excellent buttons. IMO, the Drawingboard line is toylike in comparison. Awful drivers and odd-feeling buttons. Meanwhile, Summa has greatly improved their product. Their "pucks" used to have very temperamental buttons, but I now swear by their product for CAD work. I haven't had an opportunity to try their pressure sensitive line yet. I agree that Wacom tablets are awesome for use with Painter and Photoshop. I don't own one yet, so I can't report on their performance under AniStudio or 3DS. – Dave
