    I've got the Intuios 3. I use it a lot on my pc machine. It's got a writing area almost the size of an A4 sheet of paper. The level of control is second to none. It can be programmed to operate the way you work so is very easy to get used to. On the minus side, they are expensive, so if you don't do much PP then I wouldn't bother getting one.

    I've got an intuious 4. I'm pretty much totally mouse free. If I'm honest I only get about 25% of what it can do and tend to use my keyboard for shortcuts more than the tablet. I don't think it's made things any faster production wise, but it's nice once you get the hang of it.

    The MEDIUM Intuos 4 is the most popular choice (big enough drawing area, but not too big on the desk). The LARGE is the one that's about A4.

    I've got a Wacom Graphire4 Classic XL A5 and it's great for cloning etc. Other than that I use the mouse. I know you can you the tablet as a mouse but I find it too awkward. It's brilliant for fine intricate work on pics but as oshead says, don't bother unless you need it.

    BTW picked mine up on adverts.ie at the right price.
