You guyz got me thinking about how convenient a tablet was, and how much I miss using the Pablo. I hit the web and did some comparison shopping, and found several good deals on Wacom and Aitek brands ($75 to $150). But I'm impatient, and had some time to kill, so I went out to our local stores to look for a new one. I found two for $99 : the Aiteck hyperpen 6 x 8, and the Graphire2 4 x 5. After looking at the packages, I decided to grab the Graphire2 for several reasons. One, Graphire is a product of Wacom, so there was known quality on its side. Two, I never really used all the 5 x 6 space that was given on the old Pablo, so getting a larger tablet didn't really have an advantage for me. Three, because space is at a minimum on my computer desk, the Graphire's relatively small size meant it would in the small cubby hole with my CPU instead of living precariously on the shelf where the cats slept. And four, the Graphire did not require odd batteries in its pen or mouse to keep them operable. The Aitek required two AAAA batteries for the pen... I'd never even heard of AAAA batteries before, and didn't want to run all the way out to the other end of town to get them. So far I'm happy with the Graphire2. Although I spent a little more for instant gratification, I did see the same model on the net for $75 at BizRate.com, so if you're interested in getting an inexpensive graphics tablet for a decent price... and don't mind waiting for shipping... then hit the internet and do some comparitive shopping. It will be worth it.
