Digital BW, The Print

The significant difference is that harder you press the pen to the tablet
wider the brush size becomes up to your chosen brush size.  But when
you press just a little you start with the very narrow brush.  This is a
very convenient feature.  Requires adjusting of your thinking,  since the
mouse works different.  You can program your button on the pen to
do exactly what the buttons on the mouse do, or something different.  
Another thing is a programmable keystroke (I do not use this yet).  
Track ball is an excellent tool,  you may like it better, but to me the
pen is much more natural and precise.
Hope it helps.
Jack
