      I want a drawing tablet so that I can make decent animations in Flash MX graphics-wise. I've already bought one for about £10 off Ebay. This was a big mistake, as I found that it was the opposite of what I'm looking for.

      I wanted one with a screen on it where you can see where you're drawing properly. My IT teacher showed me his, which is like you're drawing onto a moniter, it was really easy to use. Does anyone know of any specific models which they found very helpful, or even a website where there are a lot of good ones?

      my math teachers had those. they seemed pretty cool but they always had problems with them and had to call our school's tech support. they also look like they are really really expensive!

      Yeah, they can cost like £200+. I'm not really sure if it's worth it.

      I've got the Wacom CTE-440 and it kicks ass.

      If you are seriously into drawing, it'll change your life. Heh.

      RRP: $149.00
      The Final Word: This is a great tablet for kids and novice users who want to experience graphics tablets at an extremely low cost.

      well i read into this and i came to the conclusion that that is not an extremely low cost.

      Heh. Mine was a birthday present. So it was worth it.

      I've seen Wacoms for about $99, though. They're good.

      If you're going for a tablet then your only choice really is a Wacom. Stay away from Trust at all costs.

      Trust ones don't cost too much, but don't expect them to last long/be accurate.
