If you haven't got a tablet yet and are still using a mouse, run—don't walk to the nearest computer store and buy a tablet or digitizer board. Throw your mouse away before you leave because, I guarantee it, you won't want it any more after you've tried a tablet! Tablets are easy, they are accurate, good ones can be found for less than $300, they are an absolute joy to use. Cordless is cool! The light weight cordless freedom offered by the new pucks and pens make mousing seem primitive.
