Gah! O_O Such numbers... they scare me. ;-; And to think, I only started using layers so much after my tablet broke and I couldn't be lazy and shade things using the pen anymore. XD
I don't even HAVE a mouse, I have one of those little laptop touch-pad square things.
BUT, I'm buying one of the laptops that have the top that spins around 180 degrees and folds down, then you can write and draw directly on it. *dances*
Yeah, the cheapest one I could find was $1000. @_@ And it's an old model too, the most recent was almost $4000! O_O; Who has that kind of money to spend on a computer, anyway? D=
I'm lucky, various family members (and one friend XD) sent me a total of $510 for my graduation. O_O So, between that and the money I already saved, I can just afford it. <3
