You will rarely need a mouse again.
Stylus occasionally doesn't operate properly.
I got this Wacom Graphire 2 as a Xmas present and it's the biggest step forward in PCs for me for many years. If you use a tablet you don't need an introduction but for others you get a cordless (and battery-less) mouse plus a stylus (pen) on a approx 10cm x 10cm tablet. I don't use the mouse much as the stylus performs the same function. It's specifically for graphics eg editing, tracing, drawing like you would a pen on paper but I use it to navigate / click on IE, Outlook etc etc. It has reduced the strain I experienced with a mouse, you can hold it whilst typing. Instead of clicking, you tap the pad with the stylus. XP Pro has built in character recogition so potentially the keyboard could go. I paid about £70GBP but WACOM do a similar product for less than £40GBP. Remains to see how long the tip lasts before replacement though, I hope a long time.
