Pen Tablets for CS2

The Avon Lady · 01-17-07, 06:43 AM

We bought our daughter a large model Wacom tablet board. She's only been happy with it.

Wacom does seem to be the name I come across most often.

Here's one that caught my eye - Wacom Intuos3 A6 Wide Tablet Pen

If anyone in the know can point out the pros & cons of the tablets. The only reason I have been drawn to the one above is that it's the only one I've found that mentions compatibility with CS2.
