Thanks, Azayzel. I'd as soon have a slate, as I have other computers for more text-oriented purposes. I have a convertible on loan from work, and it's ok, but doesn't have enough memory to do much in the way of art. (It runs ArtRage ok, but can't handle large files.)

I'd really prefer something that would allow me to use the pressure sensitivity with Linux, but that's a whole 'nother ballgame. I've got Linux installed on the unit from work, but though I got the pen working, I couldn't get the Gimp to recognize the pressure levels. (I also couldn't get the screen to rotate, though that's a very secondary issue in my mind.)
