Does anyone happen to have a Game Boy Player disc and/or a Gamecube component cable?

If memory serves, you can get a Gamecube component cable used from Gamestops that still have them in stock for a song.

$5 it would seem! http://www.gamestop.com/browse/storesearch.aspx?sku=900572&CCTest=1

A store near me does. Next time I'm in the area I'll check it out.

You might check Monoprice as well. They had their own brand of Wii cables there for hella cheap, perhaps they've got some older junk?

 I doubt anyone would be able to find anything, but this was back in the mid 90s around 95 or 96. Seeing if anyone knows where I can find some old footage of Twitch. It was a video game review show maybe even the first? I remember it from like a short minute or so from a old vhs I found in a pile. It was like a young X-Play.

I want to buy a package of these, but shipping to Canada is $25. Whereas the real cost of stuffing them in an envelope and sending it via USPS is probably around $5-10.

EDIT with further explanation: The same quantity of sleeves are like $50+ everywhere else I look.

If "Potomac Distribution" means what I think it does, I live near them.

Ah yes, their phone number has a 703 area code. That means they're in Virginia.

Dudes and Dames:

I am looking to get a drawing tablet laptopy thingy in the coming month. Ideally it can run Photoshop but I guessss that's not a huge deal so long as I can export it in a format I could edit in Photoshop on another computer.

Anyone happen to have an opinion on these?

What's your price range? I may have some relevant knowledge in this area.

The Asus EP121 is basically a Wacom drawing tablet spliced with a mid-range PC, so it fits the bill but it's kind of pricy. I mean, shit, this thing can run Starcraft 2 it's so powerful.

Another one I can suggest is the "HP Touchsmart TM2". The one with the i3 Processor. However that looks like it's harder to find.

Was looking at the Slate/EP121 a few months ago.  It's definitely not, like, a gaming laptop but it's good for everything short of that.

Consensus is that for drawing, no, obviously it doesn't replace an actual professional-grade Wacom, but it's fairly competent for drawing on if you want a screen to doodle over and can't justify buying a Cintiq.

Price is high for a tablet or even a notebook but fairly cheap for a drawing tablet, being only slightly more expensive than the lowest end touchscreen-Wacom and of course, you get a fairly competent tablet and/or ultraportable notebook out of the deal too (it even comes with the kb/dock which is super nice).

Sweet jimminy christmas that EP121 is sexy as hell.

Having a hard time justifying a thousand-dollar purchase that is not a nice couch, but by the looks of it Brentai's right about this being cheap for a Wacom tablet. Suppose Photoshop is heavy enough that you do need it to be a PC of sorts as well.

The Touchsmart's an option, but I absolutely loathe how they run their business. I guess it's expected that their software is fucking terrible but I'd just hate to be stuck with an operating system I couldn't purge them from. Really would not like to give HP any of my money.

Okay, so it's not really helpful, but another option would be the Samsung Slate which has a Core i5 in a Windows 7 Tablet. Same price as the EP121. But it's about 1.5x more powerful. The 128GB Model has extra features for $500 more. But again, this is all just for your info of what W7 tablets can do these days.

I'll get back to you shortly with something that'll be better at solving your problem
