Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Wacom Bamboo Multitouch

I bought one here to try out for the multi-touch (another MBP touchpad
fan). My initial impression is it requires rewiring my brain to really
integrate into my work but, it may end up being more productive and
more comfortable. I have yet to put it through it's paces though so, I
will report on it in a few days.
