Ron: I was a professional digitizer in the mid to late 90s and used one of those damnable cross-hairs pucks on a huge tablet. Thankfully there's no comparison between those carpal tunnel syndrome factories and the tablets Wacom makes. Pens are best for drawing in Photoshop: no mouse can reproduce the contact and feedback that pens do. That said, they're not as great for dragging screen controls like scroll bars or Poser's dials (and if you change cameras by dragging horizontally across the view icon, you'll notice that it moves too fast). No knock against the Intuos users here, but how many of you use both tablets? Intuos' main advantage is that it comes in larger sizes, but I think it's probably not a coincidence that the Graphire has the same footprint as the mousepad it replaces... Considering the price, the Graphire should be bundled with both PC and Mac packages, IMHO.
