Hi Anna,

The pack of Graphire 4s that you bought.... were they 4x5's or 6x8's?

I noticed that the 10 pack of Graphire 4s 4x5 are $990.
Are these OK or do you really need the 6x8 to get the best out of it?

Another question... sorry... what software (graphics) are people using the 
Graphire 4s for?
Photoshop/Fireworks/Illustrator/Freehand.....???

Cheers,
TJ
