[Leica] Wacom Tablet: Graphire or Intuos?

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

I use the traditional tablet with a 30" Cinema Display and I don't
have any issues at all. "It Just Works". I love the little sliders in
the upper left of the tablet. Its pressure sensitive and tilt sensitve
sensor is also great.
