    Amazing! They had these back in 1983 and here I am spending hundreds on Wacom tablets!!

    You don't even need a tablet with this pen! What's Wacom thinking anyway..?

    Never knew... Very interesting and it seems like a brilliant blog you got there, though frankly I'm not that fluent in the language ;)

    Cheers!
