I've used a 6x8 Wacom for 10 years. It goes to the right of my keyboard, where the mouse pad would go.
I still use a mouse too, and it just goes on top of the Wacom. I switch back and forth quite regularly. I use the pen for drawing apps or fine-grained work, and the mouse for tasks like email or writing documents. I really believe switching back and forth is better for your wrists. I've never had a problem with repetitive strain from the mouse, but I have strained my wrist from gripping the pen too much. The ramp-up time to get accustomed to the Wacom can be long. Be patient with yourself and switch back to the mouse (or whatever else you use) when you start to get frustrated. After a while you will get the hang of it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
