I use a bamboo here at the house, and a larger tablet at work, but to tell
the truth, I'm just about as proficient with a laser mouse for most
chores.  Probably because of what I have to edit most of the time.

I'd love to play with the new ones that you actually work on the screen,
but I'm not sure That kind of money is warranted for what I do, even at
work.
