C'mon, guys... a week and several hundred messages ago I posted: > A friend has asked me to suggest how his son, an artist, can use a > Mac to produce line art. The problem is that he doesn't like using > the mouse for drawing - he'd prefer 'something like a pencil', > which is the medium he's used to. (I have heard that drawing with > the mouse is rather like using a cake of soap!) > Main hardware would probably be a big screen IIcx - any suggestions > about what input device would be best? Does anyone make a graphics > tablet (I know Apple /used/ to make one.. but I haven't seen it > lately); and what software should I suggest that he buys? Unfortunately, so far - a zilch response... Doesn't /anyone/ use a graphics tablet, or know of someone who does? In my innocence, I'd assured my friend that he didn't need to worry.. "Hundreds of thousands of skilled Mac people out there?" "Yeah. You can forget the problem. Our /problem/ will be in sorting through the megabytes of replies.." OK, net gods; I've learned to be humble... now, /please,/ may I have some advice??!! - duncan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- dl1@ukc.ac.uk duncan langford computing lab., university of kent, uk -----------------------------------------------------------------------
