Should I Get Pen Tablet?

[The_Flying_Skeptic]

I'm debating over whether or not getting a pen tablet is a good idea. I mainly wanted a pen pad for giving people calculus lessons over the net or talking about calculus over the net. MSN's handwriting feature makes quick doodles during conversation easy. I'd also like to get into drawing with pen tablet but I barely know how to draw with a pencil so maybe I'd be better off starting with pen and paper? I'm probably going to get one anyway and was hoping for suggestions. What is the best pen tablet? What pen tablet do you think I should get? Does anyone on atheistforums have a pen tablet?

Amazon classifies 'pen tablets' as 'digital tablets' but I think that's a mis-categorization since the new 'ipad' may be considered a digital tablet, right?
