Hey Crab, there was just a big tablet thread here the other day, check that one out.
My recommendation: get an A4, and photoshop 7 or higher
A3 is too large. Photoshop 7 supports tilting your pencil/brush
Rock on.

yeah I'm gettin' a new one too. I would check out http://www.wacom.com hee hee obviously. It works with any Windows app I think. at least according to the Systems Application guy sitting next to me it does. Flash, Illustrator, PS, etc, even Powerpoint will work with it. And yeah the larger the screen the more creative freedom you will have. Cheers crabbie! ;)

I use an A5 tablet, as A4 ones are just too frickin' huge for my needs, and my knees.
It's a Wacom Intuos2, and it's extremely good. I use an intuos1 at home. £270 or thereabouts, so prolly a touch over 300 dollars. But they are excellent tabs.

so does it totally replace the mouse for you guys that use them?
- crapmeister0
I wanna use it for drawing only

i would never replace my trackball.
but the A3 Wacom i used back in NL was indeed waaaaay too big, i just didn't have space on my desk.
I'd say A5 or A4 is nice...
and the Wacom has very advanced prefs. settings for both Win as Mac..
