    Am I the only one who actually prefers my touchpad over a mouse... maybe's it's just because I haven't used a mouse for digital mapping.

    Just to throw my few cents in here.

    I got the smallest Wacom (Bamboo) and never had a problem that it is too small. In fact I dont think I wanna have a bigger one...

    Though I use the tablet only for drawing, nothing else. Not because I wouldt like my tablet - I really love it - but I am used to my mouse for browsing etc.

    Now if I had a tablet I would love it but because I've gotten so use to the touchpad and it responds alot faster (for me at least) than a mouse I prefer it until I get a tablet.

    Just remember a tablet uses a stylus and not a finger so it may not "feel" the same at first.

    Hm... Good question. Honestly the only trouble I can see is that it doesn't work. There aren't really any moving parts or anything. Oh, here's one - you may have to buy replacement nibs for the stylus if the previous owner either lost them or ground them to nothing. Ugh... just realized that would be really bad. If the current nub in the stylus has been worn away to nothing you'll have a tough time removing it. I would suggest having the auctioner put up a picture of the stylus tip so show that it is in decent shape.

    I'm thinking for $25, a 4x6 Intuos3 would be a good buy, nibs or not. Here is the ebay description.

    Tablet has only been uses a few times and is in perfect working order. it does have a few hairline scratches due to use. Sorry but I no longer have the box and you can get all the information and the download software for it at Wacom. Feel free to email me with any questions and good luck with the bid!! What is included: -Tablet -Pen -Pen holder

    If it has only been used a few times than there is little to worry about regarding nib wear, and as that is an extremely good deal, yes, you should jump on it. A pack of nibs don't cost that much at all.
