looks like it could be cool, but i have heard that moving around wiht a pen in stead of a mouse/keyboard isn't as easier as you might think.

some day i'll have one of these parked next a 3D TFT monitor...a 2000$ computer mated to 3.5K$ in monitors.

Very cool...

As for pen control, it is awkward to start with, but you get used to it. Its not as fast as a mouse - but then a mouse isn't as fast as a keyboard, either.

When I have my Wacom hooked up, I use it as my mouse when I'm not using my kb for navigation, which is almost always... but for menus and stuff, I use the pen (I wish I could nav menus with the kb... Windows implementation of it is awful, but better than nothing...).

I just wish my pen tracked faster
