Ok, ok .. I only read a small faction :-) of comp.sys.mac, so I thought
someone else had answered this ...

My wife had the same complaint "...every time I hit a new medium, I have
to learn how to draw all over again ...." so we bought a Kurta ADB
tablet. It's likde drawing with one of those pencils they give you in
first or second grade (big, fat, and not as fast as a 0000 Rapidograph).
It comes in various sizes (we have 8.5" x 11") and plugs into
the ADB on an SE[x] or II[cx][xi] as just another device.  It has
a lifetime (!!!) warranty and they're even upgrading original ADB tablets
to pick up new features. It comes with a cdev to adjust speed and
sensitivity.  Ours has a corded pen, you can also get a cordless pen
for about $100.  Street price is a hair under $400, check around ...
