Once you try the tablet, you'll never go back. I have the Intuos2 4" x 5". When I bought it, I feared it'd be too small. As it turns out, it's the right size for me. I almost never have to actually pick up my hand and move it, unless I have it in "absolute coordinates" mode. Even when I'm not using the pen, I prefer the Intuos mouse to a normal wheel mouse. I haven't tried an optical at home, but it would probably suffer the same problems as a wheel mouse: cigarette smoke and cat hair/dander. :-) TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
