Really? that's interesting. I ordered mine on thanksgiving and they shipped on black Friday. though it's the 128 gig model and it was through Microsoft student.

I got a Surface Pro 2 and it does 7, 6 (freaking Wacom digitizer!), 4 (I can get my entire Steam library), 3, 2, and 1 out of the box!

Also, i see my phone as more like a Hitchhiker's Guide than an instructions book, and I use information from it to supplement what I already know. Like going to…

I just couldn't use GIMP's interface. Too confusing with all of those windows floating around. Also, it maps a tablet independently of the mouse pointer.
