Most software/hardware stores will have them. Wacom is apparently one of, if not THE best brand of tablet around.

Let me taste
Let me feel
I need to know what you keep inside
No need to speak
Just let it be
Carry out this wish for me let nothing interfere

Rise to submission
I'm still beneath in the soil

Discard your clothes
Let loose you hair
We're intertwined forever and have always been
Say the word
And I'll depart
Upon your lips dwells nothing but the meaning of my cause

And so comes the dark
Vibrant as ever before
Flowers already withered
In this endless winter of souls

For me, the extra restriction is I'd want to find one that works under Linux (Mmm... Gimp). Fortunately, most Wacoms fit the bill...

I congratulate all that actually get their tablet working under Linux [and not just be detected]... Quest for the holy Grail that one.

tablet

I got mine at http://www.outpost.com

It is the Hyperpen USB 8000 or something. Just a warning though, Gimp doesn't like this tablet (the tablet won't work right at all when gimp is running). But it works ok with my other programs. Oh, and warning number 2, tablets take time to get used to. Odds are you won't be drawing as good as you do on paper when you start off. (Even Noogy says he is still adjusting to his tablet).

I'm sure the tablet dosn't like Gimp either =P.

I got a fairly good tablet at a computer show for about 70 dollars. It's pressure sensitive and sensors detect the pen when it's not touching the tablet to move the cursor. It's a little small though. I still like hand drawing better.
