Bill,
I had been watching woot almost everyday since you mentioned this the last time several months ago so thanks for the heads up.

Hey Bill I hope you are doing well

Do you use this to trace something and than put it in artcam?

Mike,
A tool like this is usually used to give someone a better "feel" for drawing than a conventional mouse. Many people think the "pen" attachment is more intuitive, and therefore easier to draw with.
It should also help those people who are using software that allows you to "sculpt", smudge, etc.
There are a number of different units similar to this one out there, with the "Wacom" tablets probably at the top of the pecking order. This would be a great way for people to try the tablet concept without having to spend too much $$$

Thanks for the link Bill. I have been wanting to try one of these for some time now but have always been lured to the Wacom products. This will allow me to test drive the technology before spending the big bucks on the tablet monitor that Wacom offers.
