Hey, anybody here using a Wacom tablet?

I'm considering one of the Bamboo models, but not sure if the eraser option on the stylus is worth the extra cost of the Create, as compared to the Capture. I'd be using it primarily for photo editing and some music stuff (Logic), and also possibly as a multi-touch replacement for my Magic Mouse. (Computer is a Mac Pro.)

Also, the Capture is smaller, which in my cramped quarters is actually a plus. But I'm willing to consider the Create if folks are thrilled with it.

And amazingly, with an upgraded driver, works with my Mac Mini. I've used it a few times, but don't like it much for normal stuff. If you sketch or draw, I think it works well.

If it's possible, try it out first.

...played with it a few times and packed it away during a move. This thread reminded me that I've been meaning to drag it out again after all this time. Hope it works with a MacbookPro.
