I suppose I might try my hands on making a logo too, though I wouldn't promise anything. *kicks non-functional tablet*

I lost my stylus to my tablet. I might have to go buy a new one.

I have a Trust tablet, which about sums up the problems. :/ I should've gone for a Wacom. Oh well, it's all valuable experience I guess.
I hope you find yourself a stylus. :3

I have a really old Wacom tablet that just needs replacing all together.

But I suppose it worked for a good while. My Trust didn't. I think I've coloured three or four drawings with the thing, and only one of them did I finish. D: Then it stopped working the way it should.
Trust is, to put it like that, not to be recommended.

My tablet is a cheap-o generic brand from a store called CompUSA. It's lasted about 4 years now and it still works. I just gotta get a new pen tip for it.

Where would you buy the tip? I heard that Comp USA went bankrupt, but it could just be because the one near me closed.

I think Comp USA is up and gone, but the company that made the pen is still up.

I can't get the pen tip itself with the model I have, so I have to get a new pen. I'll look on ebay.

I heard that http://www.TigerDirect.com is planning on buying CompUSA since CompUSA is going out of business. That is what one of their guys at TigerTV said.

TigerDirect is a USA and Canadian retail store.

They have another store which is named different in the UK.

Is it called CompUK?

I doubt so, as it's affiliated with TigerDirect ;)

TigerDirect is also/or affiliated/parnered with http://www.misco.co.uk/indexuk.asp?, http://www.misco.fr/, and http://www.misco.de/ ... I think they are part of TigerDirect, their site takes you to those when you select your country.

Well, it's official, TigerDirect.com HAS bought out CompUSA! Exciting news, because it prevented CompUSA from going out of business and all.. TigerDirect, from what I know, will switch their name to CompUSA because it is a more well known name.
