Congrats, but I am more interested in your system, camera, and lightning than that tablet thingy. :p

System - Hackintosh (Q6600, 8GB, 1TB F1, 8800GTX)
Camera - D90 (forgot to lock exposure, d'oh!)
Lighting - fluorescents in my shop

Youtube kinda killed the quality from the D90, but it's not bad with HQ on. I usually use a Zoom H2 for audio, but meh, I just went with the D90's onboard mic. Not bad. Used iMovie '09 in OS X Leopard 10.5.8 for a quick edit & upload (yay for the Youtube button! :D).

Do you have a Hackintosh building guide in the Apple forum by chance?

Why yes :D

My Hackintosh sites are down for construction this month, adding a 10.5.8 guide & a Snow Leopard guide. Basically, just pick a compatible motherboard & video card, then follow a good guide, and you're all set. Pretty easy. Only drawbacks really are updates, updates usually break stuff. So either be content with the current software release, or stay on top of patches. If you really want to test updates the same-day, test it on a backup clone of your boot drive in case something screws up. That's about it :)

You talk very calmly and thoughfully, but your hands can't control your enthusiasm. :D

When I open something new, I never tear anything nor crinkle instruction pages, muchless bang the new unit on the desktop! :p

Nice job tho. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm kind of at that point now. I'm not usually an impulse buyer, but I'm a sucker for Wacom products, haha. So far it's pretty handy in Photoshop! I'd like it more if it could do more fingers, and maybe do gestures or something, to make it more customizable. Maybe in a future software release...

2408wfp or something, I believe. Real nice for photo & video work. Got it on a nice Ergotron arm - it's really handy for storing my big Intuos tablet underneath, since I don't need a monitor stand & can move the LCD back when I'm drawing.

Son, I am disappoint.

No, I invented it. Then I made a short, blurry Youtube video to show it off.

Giant iPhone mouse.

Wiggle your fingers to do different functions like scroll or flip between webpages.
