Thinking about buying a wacom

Unfortunately though, the thing didn't live very long but I more than got my $20 worth, cuz right outta the box, I made and sold a logo with it. It was then that I shoulda bought a wacom.

Also, I was one of the few fortunate enough to learn on a tablet, meaning that al the while that I was learning photoshop, I as also using a tablet. It was a pretty sweet deal.

Btw, I think it goes something like this, when it comes to buying a tablet: For general designers, such as those who do mainly graphic design or web design (Meaning actual graphic design such as print material, layout, etc.) either a mouse or a small tabet will work fine, just because you're working in large, ultimately undetailed forms, with relatively no, or few specifically painted details. For those working in digital illustration, ie. Concept design, Animation, Comic Illustration, Industrial design, fashion design, Special Effects, etc. where it's important for a design to have real world details, then it would be in your best interest to buy a larger tablet or artboard. Otherwise, for things like webdesign, and graphic design and layout, a large tablet can be genuinely cumbersome, and ultimately slow you down, whereas a mouse could have done the job with the equal, or greater precision, in half the time.

Word, A-Pek.
Word.

Although having one of these couldn't hurt.

*EDIT*
this is definitely worth considering.
