Also keep in mind that outside of the entry-level Wacoms, all Wacoms
also offer tilt sensitivity (the table can determine the angle the
stylus is held at). Also, Wacom tablets are sensitive to the presence of
the stylus up to about 1/2" away from the surface. Which means you can
do things with the stylus without having to touch the surface and thus
trigger a click action.

I really should dig out the 2 Wacoms I have here, hook one to the new
desktop machine, other to the laptop. Just gotta scrounge up some desk
space.
