I like the Toshiba website, however it won't let me access the page "Shop Tablet PCs" so I can't shop for them.

Wow.. a required school supply? >.< I couldn't go to your school. However on the Toshiba site is showed a bunch of kids with them. I want a Toshiba one; it looks nice.

However.. money.

Cool, thanks. I went through on another page and customized one and made it cost like $600 more than at first

but I hope I can persuade my mom/dad/grandparents/friends all I want is money for the next couple years.

If that doesn't work, what I'd do is what my dad made me do when I was little to make a lot of money. Go door-to-door asking people if they would like their address painted on their curb side. Charge them $20. If you did 10 houses, you would have (already) about $200 :h-biggrin

I got my new tablet laptop about a month ago. I love it! It's so easy to use, and definitely fun. It's also nice when your drawing something in paint. Mine's a Toshiba, and works like a charm..Hope you get one soon!

One thing they are mentioned for on the "Why Do I Need A Tablet Page" is for art/artists. Since scanners have become "Old School" now, tablets make it easy to draw, digitally.

BTW: If you are going to be drawing a lot of artwork on your tablet, I reccomend using PSP or PhotoShop. I personally thing PSP is better for the drawings, although you might want to get PhotoShop or both!

I know; I'd like to buy one of them, but I'm not sure. I actually know how to use PhotoShop, but there are no tools for actually drawing. Also on PSP, I do not like their animation program, but Photoshop doesn't even come with one.

Maybe if I actually learn how to use the Animation shop correctly, then I could use it.

But either way, I have to pay more for that.

Now I have a question for anyone who actually has a tablet. Everyone says it's a lot easier to play Fireworks and such, but how do you press the arrow keys? I'd have to get a hybrid, one that uses a keyboard also, and then it'd still be a pain cause the arrows are all the way on my right and I use my left hand for the arrows. And it'd be awkward touching the screen at that angle.

Is there a way to operate something that moves the arrow keys on the mode where you can't see the keyboard?

Yes, most tablets have a pad at the bottom where you can write, press keys, and arrows, etc.
Now, when you put it on tablet mode, you can still use this pad. Not only that, but you can change where the pad is to fit what your comfortable with.

Yes i have to use that awkward left hand arrows, right hand mouse...i became very skilled at it, but now i just stick to pirates. its really not that much of a hassle just takes some time getting used to.

PhotoShop does too come with an animation thing! It even has is own program; ImageReady. PSP doesn't have animation. And both of them have tools to draw.

Penguinz · #28 11-14-2006, 01:49 AM

Wow! Those look really, really cool! I wish i had one.

Well I'm just confused now. I thought I had tried ImageReady with PSP. I didn't like it. And usually I had been trial-ing PhotoShop. But Corel photoshop, not Jasc, so Idk if there's a difference. And on Corel Photoshop XI it has really horrible drawing tools. Or I didn't see them, in which case.. don't say anything.
