Not frivolous at all, dude!  Now I believe it's a huge step forward in 
man-computer interface (at least for people which like to draw).  My

paintings to the grandparents... :)

Yeah, I'm yet to try it out with Blender (and the sculpt tool).  I've 
been obsessively sketching and plain mud painting around in Gimp 
alone... one of the best things is that there's no paper waste. :)

it... :P
