Graphic Pen Tablet?

Win98 / P III @ 300 mhz
====================

Is there a piece of hardware - like a pen tablet or stylus?- that I can use
instead of a mouse - when using PSP, Photoshopp or Flash that would make
drawing shapes easier - with more control?

I'm not certain what this thing would be called.

If anybody has any suggestions - I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Yesssssss. Not sure what this has to do the HTML. One note though, most
tablets are USB and Win98 USB support for such drivers and a bit flaky I
have found. I have one, didn't really work very well until upgraded to
Win2k. Personally I find getting a really good mouse is better and
cheaper solution. The new laser mice are very good.

Yeah, -for about 2-3 months. I've found them cheap and very non-durable,
at least the MS ones.

I go for the Logitech. G5 or G7.

I use a Wacom Intuos3 12x12 drawing tablet. For me, it does make
drawing easier. But they can be mighty pricy. And the little ones are
a waste of money. Anything smaller than about 9x12 is pretty
worthless (IMOHO). I think mine was about $600.00

You have to spent the $$ for the resolution and pressure level density
otherwise I agree it is a waste. I have the little one, really useless,
a cheap mouse optical mouse better!

Probably better than MS. Maybe I'll try one in a couple of weeks when this
POS breaks (-bought in May.)

wacom has been making tablets for ages. Pressure sensitive, various
pens/brushes, etc.
Using a mouse is like trying to draw with a pencil stuck in a bar of soap.
