Wacom here, two of them. Graphire 2, with pen and mouse. Dropped the stylus in my coffee of the first one, thought it was ruined, so I bought a second one. Lo and behold, the pen on the first one worked fine the next day, so I ended up with two of them. ;) Now I have a backup if I need it, so that's a good thing. Although, the second one I bought, I can take back and exchange if something breaks. My first was $80 from Amazon.com, and the second one was around $95 at Comp USA. I do a -lot- of postwork. No way in hell I could ever go back to using a mouse for that. I love my tablet. :)
