Wacom is wonderful.

I finally took the leap and got a Wacom Intuos4. It's a professional pen tablet and I love it. In the past I tried to adapt and just got frustrated and gave it up. When my wrist started aching recently I decided it was worth trying again. The pen tool is much more natural to use than a mouse (although, as you can see, it comes with a mouse, too) and there are some other super features the tablet offers. It's pretty amazing technology. Definitely worth the second chance. Now I just have to hide the mouse from myself to avoid the temptation to return to my old ways...
