Unpacking and setting up a GTCO Rollup Digitizer
Today we will be unpacking and setting up a GTCO Rollup III digitizer. These Rollup III digitizers are my favorite. They're reliable, have a small footprint, are low-power, portable and relatively inexpensive.
*UNPACKING THE GTCO Rollup III DIGITIZER*
The GTCO Rollup digitizer ships in a heavy cardboard tube.
To open the digitizer tube, cut the tape and remove the lid. Inside you'll see the accessory box, a padded cardboard spacer, and the digitizer itself wrapped around the inside wall of the tube.
To unpack the digitizer:
1. Lift the accessories box out using the hole in the end of the box.
2. Lift the padded cardboard spacer straight up.
3. Once the spacer is removed, grasp the end of the electronics bar and rotate it a quarter turn to loosen the digitizer from a wall of the tube.
4. Then grasping the electronics bar as well as the other two layers of the board, carefully lift the digitizer straight up and roll it out on a flat surface making sure that the entire digitizer is supported.
It is important that the entire digitizer is supported. Although these digitizers are quite rugged they are are susceptible to damage from sharp bends in the surface of the board. So make sure that the work surface they are on is at least as large as the entire digitizer. Also the work surface should be made entirely of a non-metallic material. Metal surfaces under the board can interfere with the operation of the digitizer. So if you're putting a large metal drafting board, then it's best to lay a sheet of plywood under the board to separate it from the metal.
*Orienting the GTCO Rollup digitizer*
It's best to place the digitizer so the electronic bars on the right. Although these digitizers are reversible, with electronics on the right, the wires for the stylus and USB cable will come out of the top of electronics bar far away from you and be protected from accidental damage. If you want to put the digitizer electronics on the left, make sure to click the right-angle button in the Superset menu once the digitizer is powered on. Also, you will need to be careful of the delicate stylus and USB cabling as it will be at the lower edge of your work surface.
*Unpacking the accessories box*
Next we will , unpack the accessories box. To do that will open the lid, and then remove the installation CD, the manual, the digitizer stylus or cursor, and finally the USB cable.
Now the accessory box is empty, place it back in the padded cardboard spacer and put the spacer back into the digitizer storage tube. Don't lose the shipping container. If you ever need to return the digitizer to the manufacturer for repair, you'll need this to in order to ship it safely.
*Plugging the cables into the digitizer*
Now let's plug in the digitizer USB cable and stylus or cursor. At the end of electronics bar you'll see four ports. The first two ports are only used if you're using a serial connection to the computer and this type of connections is not normally used these days. The third port is for the digitizer stylus or cursor.
Pick up the end of the stylus or cursor cable and you'll notice that it's keyed like a telephone cable. With the key side down, plug it into the third port.
Then plug the square end of the USB cable into the fourth port.
Your GTCO digitizer is now set up. You are now ready to install the digitizer driver from the installation CD or from a download from the GTCO website.
To learn how to install the digitizer driver, name tablet works, please see the article entitled "Installing the Tabletworks driver for GTCO Digitizers".

How do I get my computer to read an SD card through a digital still picture camera?
My computer is reading the pictures directly off the camera instead of the SD card. I know there's something I can do to make it read the SD card instead but I can't remember.
If your camera has a "Mass Storage Mode", then the SD card will appear on "My Computer" as a storage device.

Carnegie Digital Computers Discusses Why Consumers Love the iPad
Though the Apple iPad has been out for a little over a month now, it is still nearly impossible for customers to find stores that have them in stock. Carnegie Digital Computers knows exactly why these devices are selling so well. Besides the iPad's sleek design and visual appeal, Carnegie Digital Computers explains why certain features are drawing customers in.
The iPad offers a lot of choice as far as meeting consumer needs, says Carnegie Digital Computers. The tablet computer is available in both a Wi-Fi only version, as well as a Wi-Fi plus 3G compatible version. The 3G compatible version, explains Carnegie Digital Computers, would allow users to access the web anywhere—even where wireless Internet access is not available. Carnegie Digital Computers continues that the iPad is also available with 16, 32, or 64 GB memory. This lets customers pick the iPad that is perfect for them without paying for unnecessary extras.
Another favorite feature of the new iPad is the web and e-mail experience it offers, says Carnegie Digital Computers. For example, when viewing a webpage, users can view it in both landscape and portrait. Carnegie Digital Computers explains that customers love that when they rotate the iPad, the page automatically rotates too and expands to fill the screen. Also, the multi-touch features of the screen are astounding, says Carnegie Digital Computers. Users are able to double tap the screen to enlarge particular portions of websites. Carnegie Digital Computers says that new iPad owners constantly comment on its ease of use and intuitiveness.
The iPad also changes the way users can view photos and video. Carnegie Digital Computers explains that the iPad display is brilliant and vibrant, while high-definition videos show up bolder than ever. According to Carnegie Digital Computers, YouTube is already a working component of the iPad. The iPad also supports iPod and iBook functions. Come in to Carnegie Digital Computers and try out the new iPad—once you experience it, you will definitely want one.
