Graphics tablet

Well, I recieved my first graphics tablet tonight. Only had about 5 minutes to play with it before I had to go out. I must say, it's a weird sensation. The pressure sensitivity is definately a good thing. Do any of you guys use tablets? What are your thoughts on them?

This is my first scribblings with the tablet, just testing out the sensitivity.

I tried my friend's one time and I was unimpressed.

Went to a mixer for school and they had a 20in touch screen set up with Alias, now there's something worth getting. Wow.

Wacom's Graphire 4x5 tablet is at a very affordable $100 MSRP price

Specs:

Edit: At buy.com for the holiday season Google is offering $20 off 50 and you can get the tablet for 80ish using Google Checkout.

I got a 6x8 UC Logic, I tried a friends 6x8 graphire and tbh, I couldn't tell that much difference between the UC logic one and the Graphire, The graphire did have a better quality stylus and the eraser on the end of the stylus, but for the amount I'll be using it I think I got a good bargain.
