Magic Trackpad epiphany

Now I get it!
I have, just this moment, ‘got’ Apples new Magic Trackpad. It was one of those BLAM moments, so much so I had to stop my work to post this.
I was working on Pixelmator on a large hi resolution image, so I was zoomed in a long way. I was cleaning up the last few pixels which the magic wand tool hadn’t got and I found my self moving around the image with my right hand using my Magic Mouse while making the changes using the Wacom Bamboo tablet pen in my left. I hand’t even really thought about this I was just doing it! And a Magic Trackpad would give me a much lager area to work on so give me more control.
Yes I get it now! Does this mean I will be getting one as well? Maybe no, I don’t do a lot of art stuff, but then I do want to do more, so maybe I will
Dam you Apple! I don’t need to be spending more money right now! :}
