Go to an Aldi store I think

There is one just before Griffith Uni. Do you want to head over that way tomorrow after our coffee? :D

Just bear in mind that pressure sensitivity does not seem to work when one has XP and CS2

Aldi store locations

Sell it here when you're done.

My opinon of it after day 2 - it's like discovering MSPaint for the first time... I'm just scribbing stuff everywhere for the sake of it! :) It makes a great platform for my laptop to sit on (my lappy fits entirely on it with room to spare on all sides), and is a great serving tray as Birddog suggested too. All food crumbs can be easily swept off the smooth surface and onto the carpet never to bother anyone... :D

Honestly, I believe I'm sacrificing too much deskspace for it - considering how often I anticipate using it in future once the novelty wears off, and I'm not prepared to get a new desk just for this Medion - so I'll probably part with it soon. If I ever do get another tablet in future, it shall be a smaller one.

Aldi does not like to open a store in Bondi or near Bondi, cos it's Waverley Council :lol:

Yes, you can find couple stores around here, I'm not shopping into those store either, been in once at their first opened and never come back, it's not a supermarket, not a store, like a garage or warehouse clearance sale and they don't know what are they talking about.
Not impressed btw.
