Remember when a Wacom tablet felt like a huge investment?

I bought my first Intuos back in 2012 for about $250, which felt like a fortune then. It was just the small one, but it changed everything for me, moving from a mouse to actual pen pressure. Looking at my old stuff, the lines were so shaky and flat. Now you can get starter tablets for under $100, or even use an iPad. I still have that old thing in a drawer somewhere. Anyone else keep their first drawing tablet as a weird little trophy?

Mine's a Graphire 2 from 2004. The plastic is yellowed and the cord is frayed. It still works, but the surface is worn smooth in one spot from years of circles. That worn spot maps every drawing I did for a decade.

My old mousepad had a permanent groove from my wrist. I wore through the fabric right where my hand rested for eight years.
