*sniffs* My graphics pen decided to die last week - midway through processing a bunch of photos for a client.  Well, it's still in its death throes. If I abuse it enough by bashing it against the desk, it will work intermittently. Sigh...
So, dear readers, it seems I have to invest in a new one fairly soon. Recommendations please.

Wacom.
Can't you get a new pen, might be cheaper? eBay...

Wacom, Intuos. The wireless models are really nice.

Mine started to behave similarly back end of last year, bought a new pen off eBay...still didn't work:-(
I had a small Wacom Bamboo that I used with the laptop which I started using while waiting for the pen, and surprisingly found the small size quite usable. So I haven't bothered getting a new intuos yet.

I had a feeling I would prefer the small one and I fancy the new wireless models so I have dropped a few hints with Jac for my Birthday soon pointing her at the small Intuous model! It looks very nice and I always loved the larger version I own.

Thanks, boys. 
I saw the bamboo ones on ebay but didnt know if they were any good. What model have you got Eric?
I'm scratching my head trying to remember what make I currently have. Think it begins with an A. Oh, this getting old lark is pants!! :baffled:

Advent?

Nope, not Advent. Of course, the way my memory is these days it could have been an M or a P.

It's not the current version Judith. I have had it a couple of years for use on my laptop. Works perfectly for me. Just have to get use to the sensitivity of a smaller pad area. On the positive side ...much cheaper than intuos, less desk space taken up.

There is a small wireless Intuos model now, looks very nice.
