Digital BW, The Print

I have had two Wacoms, an ArtPad & an Intuous II, both 4x5. I can't imagine
using anything larger; in fact, if they offered a model 3-1/2 x 4 in size I
would go for that one.

As far as your general frustration using it, it took me a while to
transition from the relative moves of the mouse to the absolute coordinates
of the tablet. Now I use the tablet exclusively as my pointing device.

When you do get used to using it Tim, you will find it a fantastic tool for
photo editing.  -bk
