Hey there!
I've been thinking of getting a tablet for quite some time now, and after talking to a few people, i'm determined to get a wacom intuos (and not a cheap immitation as i was planning on buying). The only thing is that i'm in canada. WacomDirect doesn't ship to canada, but they do suggest using an "across the border" buying service called borderfree.com. I was just wondering if there were actual stores in canada that sold the Intuos 6x8 tablet at a fair price. I've tried looking at the sites wacom suggest, but i was more wondering on the experience of other people from canada as to what a reliable place to buy one would be.
Thanks

Of all the places I've ever been to, I've only seen a Wacom Intous for sale at Computer City and London Drugs (of all places). I live in Calgary Alberta for reference.
Oh, and good thing you'r looking for a 6x8, since I don't think they'd carry much larger. |

Got my Wacom Intuos a fair while back at Computer City...Other computer stores only had Graphires in stock, if any. |

Thanks for the info. I found a place from toronto that has the 6x8 and a decent price (actually, they have up to the 12x18's, i'm pretty supprised) it's www.smart-machine.com.
Someone i know got his from there, so i'm less worried it's just annoying have to buy stuff from long distance... like if it ever breaks down.. the shipping costs can be annoying to get a replacement..
