Hey!
It went really well! Thanks for asking!
The client liked my ideas.
Specially the one I like most and would prefer to develop.I explained him what happened, it was okay, he understands that you can have a bad day and that technology also fails.
So, we spent two hours chatting about chicks while I was working on the logo he liked most right in front of him.
He asked me if I needed alcohol, like a good whiskey, to get inspired.
And he was like: "Wow! that's a nice new toy!"
He added: "I can get you any MBP, with guarantee and totally legal, for less 300€ than in the iCentre or whatever..."
Okay, give me a week to think about it.
My plan now is to ask the guy to pay me with a brand new Mac...This if he wants stationery, newsletters and so on after the logo design.
Lets see what happens.Thanks again everybody!

Hey everybody!
I want to thank you all for the input, advice and support.
I had a busy morning, took my MacBook to check the trackpad and fortunately they also had the Bamboo pen available in the iCentre, so I finally made it.They asked me for what was I using my 2007 white MacBook and when I told them it was for graphic design (print) and some newsletters they replied that I was very ambitious!
I would love to have a bigger tablet but for now it's perfect.
Besides, a new computer comes first.Have been working with my Bamboo pen for an hours now.
I'm very happy.But also late in my work for today's meeting.
Doesn't matter, I feel great.What I'm missing already is that sheet in the Wacom to put the sketches under.
Later i will check how to use this beauty properly.Thanks again dear QBN friends!
- designing print materials and newsletters is not ambitious on an '07 MacBookmonospaced
- I think the same mono. I have 4GB. Actually what I really need is a proper monitor.oey
- Except from the trackpad problem the only thing that happened so far was the need to reinstall the OS once...oey
- would love to edit some videos, but I don't dare to do that anymore. unless it's really a small thing like extract 1 minuteoey
- ...of a particular part of a movie or to make 5 minute max videos with soundtrack. Did a couple of experiments but too slow.oey

WIsh i just got an Intuos 4
- Fabricio0
Oh no.. shit, im sorry oey! :(
Hopefully you can still make it for your deadlines
- Julesvm0
I also have the intous5 with touch disabled... too many false hits to be useful as I rest my hand on it when I hold the pen... otherwise works a treat
- mantrakid0
Never use the touch either - its actually the cause of some bugs on OSX for me, so i disable it completely.

I guess I'll spend my time in QBN until I fall asleep...

RIP Wacom ET-0405A-U (Steel Blue)...
Sort of funny actually because it's so fucking old.
- I have the exact same model, I'll sell it to you for one million US dollars.ltjohnrambo
- hahaha!oey
- I think I was in high school when I bought it. I was so stoked at the time..ltjohnrambo
- 1999...oey

We had such great times together...
And in the end... BAM!...Fucking me so hard!I can see it working again tomorrow...
I bet it's the USB connection or cable.

I have to wait 7 hours for the shop to open.
And I don't know if they have it in their stock...7 hours of work went directly into the drain.
Sorry guys, I'm fucking pissed with this, totally ruined my plans and working night.
Also, this means no icecream...

I have the Intuos 5 but turn touch off. It works like shit compared to the Magic trackpad, plus I'd accidentally zoom in on stuff all the time. I just use the Magic Trackpad for touch-related shortcuts/swipes and the Wacom for everything else

i have the multitouch 5.
honestly i've never used the feature and it randomly zooms me in and out and makes my desktop icons different sizes at random from my arm movement or something
i had the 4 before and can say it hasn't given me any better of an experience
- oey0
Do you guys think the touch option is that useful or practical?
I just want it to use as mouse, draw, pick and drop and small things with my macbook.
It's not to pass sketches or anything as I rarely convert drawings to vector. Only with logos.I also don't have a desktop (external) screen, for now.

I'm trying to figure out how a mousepad goes bananas and what it has to do with anything.

Postponed today's meeting for tomorrow to gain some extra time to work on it as I was sick and now this motherfucker from hell!...

I want to buy the pen and touch, but next to my place, as going to Mediamarkt would be too far away, they only have the fun version.
Extra 20€ for software I will never use...Damn!
