    I was curious and checked how much an equivalent mass of gold would cost.

    A Wacom CTH480 tablet masses 310 g and gold in the form of Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins costs 49.28 CAD/g. So that's 15,276.80 CAD. The price at a major electronics retailer is 109.99 CAD.

    Silly goose.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    An empirical demonstration of the difference between cost and value.

    Regarding that Trust tablet, at only $35 you don't really need to replace the nib. It's cheaper to replace the entire tablet! Kind of like buying inkjet printer ink. Sometimes it's more cost-effective to just go ahead and buy a new printer for the ink that comes with it.

    Not a terribly eco-friendly approach, of course.

    That's what I was referring to when I said Im too poor to buy cheap things...Wait, I did say that right? Yee, I did. I am looking into buying the pad chick suggested, that is Turcom Tursion 10x6in
    A map must contain the following four elements: Title, Author, Scale and Orientation. It should also contain these two elements: Date and Legend. Without these, it's just a piece of paper with something on it.
