A periodic reminder that you can live without "modern" tech and do fine. I have never owned a smart phone and am doing great. Still using a circa 2006 Intuos 3. Still driving a 2009 Nissan Versa with knobs n everything; still listening to CDs. If tech makes you unhappy, you don't have to use it~

I actually gave my original one away, then a few years ago when my Cintiq Companion started to die, I realized it was truly killing my body and stopped using Cintiqs. Got a few Intuos 3s on eBay for super cheap instead so I can keep replacing them if I need to, they still work just fine.

Buying them off of eBay is a great idea!! I use an old Intuos too (I also hate screen tablets because they are the only thing that ever gave me back/shoulder pain) and I’m always worried about what I’ll do when mine breaks. I’ll check eBay!🙌

I'm the opposite! I switched to a cintiq because my bamboo was actually starting to hurt my wrist, but I also got mine used on ebay for like 200(?) and it's lasted me a good 6 years so far.
