Re: [Tuxpaint-users] Tuxpaint-users Digest, Vol 23, Issue 1

[Misty <mis...@ho...>]

I would LOVE to have a tablet to play on tux paint with... I mean so my KIDS 
can play on tux paint of COURSE lol. I am 29 there is no way you can prove 
that I play on Tux paint lol. (Okay okay I LOVE LOVE LOVE tux paint lol. )

But yes I would pay 40 bucks for the tablet... and I think it is an awesome 
idea!! And I too would test a prototype LOL.
