I don't think many people on the net are artists. I tried the Kurta tablet at a show a couple years ago and was not at all impressed. Maybe things have improved since then. If you can find a source of recent MacUsers or MacWorlds, they have reviews of input devices every so often. It seems like I remember one of these within the last two or three months. However, the reviews rarely help you decide how it would feel for you to use the device, and I don't know of dealers that carry one to try out. They're quite expensive. Maybe you can find a mail order dealer that gives a 30-day money back guarantee. Again, try MacUser or MacWorld for sources of mail order dealers. Call the 800 numbers and ask about the tablets even if they are not advertised. MacWarehouse carries two kinds of tablets. The cheapest is an 8 1/2 x 11 inch tablet for $255. The 12-inch tablets are $399 (Kurta) and $325 (Bit Pad Plus). The options are kind of confusing. MacWarehouse (800) 255-6227 Shirley Kehr
