Recommendations for buying a digital tablet

[Andro Gagné]

Dear Colleagues:

	In my library and freelance Web development work, I create a lot of 
original artwork using Adobe Photoshop and occasionally Adobe 
Illustrator.  I'm interested in purchasing a digital tablet for doing 
freehand (not FreeHand, the software) drawings and sketches, but I've never 
worked with a digital tablet, and I don't know what to look for.  I'm 
wondering whether there are any other artistic types out there who are 
using digital tablets and can give me advice on what to buy, and, perhaps 
more importantly, what not to buy.

	Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Andro P. Gagne
