Sometime in the future I plan on building the "computing" station 
around the tablet. If editing images is primarily what you are doing, 
something similar to a drafting table to hold the digitiser, and a 
monitor on an arm or self over the top, maybe a compact keyboard 
mounted somewhere near the tablet, and/or program a bunch of "hot keys" 
onto the tablet. My Calcomp has 10 or 12 hotkey areas that could be 
programmed for several different functions plus the ability to map 
certain areas for more "function" keys.

I will say that the Wacom Cintiq looks like it would be best for me, 
now if I could only scare up the $2500 to buy it.
