For $139 USD I have a 12 X 9 active area to work in. It comes with several programs a pen and mouse. Now we'll see what I can do with it. LOL

You'll have to let us know how you get on. I really need a graphics tablet too. My mouse finally went KAPUT yesterday, right in the middle of postwork - the pointer hardly moves at all when I want it to, but if I leave it alone it moves by itself! If I draw a line longer than 100 pixels the pointer shoots to the top right of the screen and stays there! I wish I had some money... :Z

All I can say is a I rather trackballs opposed to mice but for image editing even a trackball isn't accurate enough. For the price of this one it has 3048 lpi res with and accuracy of .42mm and 512 levels of pressure. For this a Wacom tablet would only be maybe get a 4 X 5 active area instead you get 12 X 9. Tuttle if you have the money get a tablet, as for a replacement mouse they are fairly cheap (at least in the US) and trackballs or even better IMO.

I've got a wacom. 512 lvls of pressure, 4X6, 100$C. I don't think I could go back... Cordless, batteryless mouse + pen. Love it.

I agree with antevark. I love the mouse and the pen. I hate going to work and using a regular mouse now... :)

Wacom here, two of them. Graphire 2, with pen and mouse. Dropped the stylus in my coffee of the first one, thought it was ruined, so I bought a second one. Lo and behold, the pen on the first one worked fine the next day, so I ended up with two of them. ;) Now I have a backup if I need it, so that's a good thing. Although, the second one I bought, I can take back and exchange if something breaks. My first was $80 from Amazon.com, and the second one was around $95 at Comp USA. I do a -lot- of postwork. No way in hell I could ever go back to using a mouse for that. I love my tablet. :)
