I would have agreed with you a few years ago , but the embarrassment of being that guy and the smug condescension of the tablet master race forced me into learning to use a tablet . It took a few months of annoyance and struggling to drag node arrows , but now I don ' t know how I ever worked without one . Going back to a mouse now feels sluggish and imprecise , and now I too am a smug member of the tablet master race . As an extablet hater , I sympathise , but really recommend you give it a couple of solid months before you write them off completely . Assuming you ' re using Nuke , that is . It doesn ' t seem necessary for AE . <| sep |>$ 14 in tolls to save an hour ? Sounds like a bargain . <| sep |> I stumped my toe on a table once . None of you fuckers can compete with that shit .
