    Hi Diana, I use an Intous 2 (by Waacom) 6 x 8" graphics tablet and I
    love it. They ar e supposedly the best on the market- with 3
    programmable buttons on the pen, programmable buttons on the tablets
    (I donB9t remember how many- I'm in VA teaching and my pad and pen
    are in Maine) and great pressure sensitivity. They make a smaller one
    that may be in your price range. These are compatible with most major
    software, like Photoshop. One of the things I like to do is take a
    rough drawing, put it under the plastic sheet on the tablet and trace
    it. This is what most professional graphic artists use. I found the
    larger one to be awkward (and well out of my price range). The only
    bad thing is- I have a tendency to loose pens- I wish this had a
    beepe r so I could track it down when I misplace it. HTH. Kate Wolf,
