Just want to add my support for using a tablet. They're one of those
things you just can't live without once you learn how to use them. In
comparison using a mouse feels like painting with a brick.

Get a good one, a Wacom Intous II 6x8 sized tablet should be ideal. They
also last really long, I've only upgraded to a newer model once during
the seven years I've used my wacoms, and the old one still works fine.
