Digital BW, The Print

I honestly can't believe people do serious retouching without one.  One of
the best things I ever bought.  I have the Intuos 2 30x23cm.  Would not want
anything smaller if you can afford it.  Annoyingly they still aren't
bluetooth enabled (except for the little Graphire which I would not
recommend) and so you have a stupid wire across your desk which these days
is very unnecessary.

But re the back, I doubt this has anything to do with using a mouse vs a
tablet. A good chair, proper posture and a EXERCISE is key for that.
