[comp.sys.atari.st] Drawing on the ST

sethk@sco.COM (Seth Katz) (12/11/87)

I bought my 1040ST mono/color system as much as
anything to use as a graphics engine.
I now have Degas Elite, easydraw, CAD 3d, n-vision,
AIM, Neochrome, etc, etc.

HOWEVER, I still find that damn mouse to be impossible
to draw with!

One solution I am looking forward to (after X-mas, at
this point!) is an Imagscan digitizer, but that's not
really the point.

Has anyone found either a software package that makes
drawing with a mouse bearable (if you'll excuse the pun),
or an implement like a drawing pad (koala pad???) or
a better mouse to be more satisfying?

Recommendations, please!

Quantum Microsystems makes the ProTablet ST, which is a graphics tablet
that replaces the mouse in just about every software package (there's a
little desk accessory that replaces the mouse driver with the graphics
tablet driver.  It retails for $400.  (I am affiliated with QMI, but since
the ProTablet is the only product of its type as far as I know, I figured
posting about it to the net would be okay.  For what it's worth, I prefer
the mouse...)
