you guys are nuts. how in the DIP do you draw with a trackball???! i'm with kai on this one, drawing with a mouse is like drawing with a bar of soap. i have a wacom artpad ii. i love it. i do use the mouse when web surfing (so i dont have to hold the pen), and i can use the mouse with like poser (for turning dials, although the pen is quicker), but drawing???? no way, man. :)
