Re: [Avid-L2] Anyone buy a Wacom lately?

Mac Mall has the intuos 4s still - at a discount. And, I think I saw refurbs in store last time I was there to grab something a month or so ago. I have 2's and 3's around the building, but like the 4 a lot. (Though I disable all those buttons on the side.) I use the pen and mouse alternately, though, depending on what I'm doing, I'm no longer just a pen-only guy. ( I don't like the wireless mouse on the intuos, that never even comes out of the box).

My hunch would be the multitouch capable ones might be good for the future, but I can also see somehow that being useless or worse, problematic, with Media Composer. I'm *not* looking at the Cintiqs as I freelance and need something that move easily with me.
