Soon you'll wonder how you got along without it. I found my Intuos to be used much, much more as a pointing device than an art tablet, although it did both spectacularly. You'll never even think about using a mouse to draw from here on, unless you have no choice. (^-^)b
When I tried doing this yesterday with the Wacom, I had to give up, but I did manage to surf and do most of the non artsy stuff with it, with relative success... :P
