[comp.sys.mac] Need Digital Pen/Hand Digitizer Recommendation

peter@aucs.uucp (Peter Steele) (08/10/89)

A department here wants to get a digital pen/pad to use with a drawing
package for drawing things like class crests. We haven't decided whether
to get a PC system or a Mac system. Whatever is decided, we'd like some
recommendations on what would be a good digital pen to get. For the PC,
we will probably get Corel Draw, so the Digital Pen has to be supported
by Microsoft Windows. A cordless pen would be preferable, although not
essential. How about the Kurta IS/One? We're looking at under $850 or
so for both the Mac and PC recommendations.

Since these drawing packages usually have some sort of bitmap tracing
feature, we thought a simple hand held digitizer might be useful for
scanning the class crests. Nothing too fancy, but something that will
do the job. Around $500 is what we're looking at here (based on prices
I've seen for hand-held digitizers). There seems to be quite a few
advertized these days, all of them looking pretty much the same. Is
there some that should be avoided?

Thanks in advance.
