Well I don't have one, but I do know about them... And the size and kind all depends on what your doing... Like I do Magazine Ads, Web Graphics, Interfaces, Photo-Retouching/Editing, and will be doing 3d texturing soon... I will also be doing Cad/Cam For work like that I'm told I will need around 12"X12", and a 4D Mouse with CrossHairs (For Cad). Now, if your not going to be doing A LOT of different kinds of work like I do, then a smaller one with a regular pen and maybe one of the graphire ones would be fine... It's like a computer... Most people don't by a P III 1Ghz computer with 512 MB SDRAM, 60GB HD, Geforce2 ULTRA Graphics chip, and the Koolmaxx videio cooling fan system to run NotePad, but if your doing intense work (Or if you happen to be one of the snotty kids that only has to learn to go to the bank for mommys and daddys money) then you get it... Anyways, sorry I can't answer your real question...
