Digital BW, The Print

Jerry (and anyone else who has an opinion)-

I recenty traded the old wacom serial port in for the new graphire 
one (4x5) with the USB connection...and I hate the pen compared to 
the old one.

What pen do you use? The one I have has the click switch too high up 
on the pen barrel and it's quite a bit thicker than the old one I was 
used to...I use a laptop with a pointing stick (toshiba and IBM) and 
I find myself drifting away from the wacom because of the pen...I've 
never used a mouse and I'm actually thinking of using the wacom mouse 
on the pad (you all probably get a laugh about that).

Is there a perfect pen?
