Gotta admit I am blissfully ignorant about them Why is not knowing about pen tablets blissful? ;-) Personally, my best recommendation would be to go with a genuine Wacom tablet, and don't waste your money on an "off brand". I have a Graphire II, a small one (my desk isn't very big), and I find it works very well for everything I need to do. You can get bigger ones and more expensive ones with greater sensitivity, of course, but whatever you get, make sure it's a Wacom (learned that one the hard way!). bonni
