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

I bought an Intuos 4 a couple of months ago to replace a stolen Intuos 2.
I haven't used a mouse in years, I do everything with the tablet, so when the old one was stolen, I couldn't hold out for more than 2 days before I had to get a replacement.
It works great on both Mac and PC. I haven't tried the multi touch Intuos 5, but I can't see where I'd have much use for it in my daily workflow.
Hope this helps.

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.
