Ditto for me... i got the ArtzII 6x8 at MacWorld Boston last year for $250

(it's usually around $320) and it has pretty much replaced my mouse. The

difference in quality makes Wacom the natural choice.


The only compatibility issue is that if you use a language kit (Japanese,

etc.), when you attempt to define application preferences within the Wacom

control panel your machine will lock up (OS 8.x only and only with the

updater that is supposed to make the language kits OS8 compatible... this

is also true for any control panel where you have the option of adding

items, like ColourSynch or PCExchange).  Apple knows this and has pledged

to fix it.


Other than that it has caused me to dread going to my real job and working

with a mouse.
