Sherry: I think you should consider what you will be using the Wacom tablet for. Like Bob I have one (an older ArtZII serial) and use it only occasionally. But it is a really nice tool. I also use it with an optical mouse (I keep the mouse pad on top of the tablet!) and would prefer USB if it were available. Back then I decided to get a tablet that's 32 x 24 cm overall. I can't use it to trace large format images, but it is much more space efficient than the digitizer I've also used at twice that surface area. Think about available desk space. If you use it a lot, a programmable tablet gives extra value. I don't use that feature but I have friends who swear by it. I'd also check out the pen size and weight -- some are thinner and lighter than I like. Other than those issues I've seen no other Users with negative reactions to any Wacom product.
