Chalk Ink Wet Wipe Markers – Review

Review 0

In my over ten years at MyMac I have reviewed a variety of items. Whenever possible I try to review art related items like drawing tablets, painting apps, and similar creative stuff. When John Nemo, the MyMac reviews editor, asked me to review Chalk Ink Markers I thought why not? It isn’t tech specific, but it is related to my field of expertise. Plus, maybe someone has a tech business that is looking into having hand made signs.

However, this time it uses an iOS or Android app for the transfer. How does it work? Read on.

Wacom Intuos Draw – Review

Mac, Review 0

I have been using Wacom drawing tablets for about twenty years. Through personal purchases, employees, and MyMac reviews I have tried everything from their pro line to their consumer line.
