)	You should definitely look at the Easyl from
)	Anakin. They're located in the Toronto area.

	As it happens, I'm in the midst of updating the EASYL User's
	Guide (for the PC -- same tablet, different interface).
	The EASYL is popular among artists and animators. It is designed
	to hold both paper and cels (pegs provided), if desired, or you
	can just use the stylus on the pad itself. There are numerous
	adjustments for sensitivity, linearity, orientation, etc. 

	Here's Anakin's address and number:

	Anakin Research Inc.
	100 Westmore Drive
	Unit 11c
	Rexdale, Ontario
	M9V 5C3

	(416) 744-4246

)	This tablet is also pressure-sensitive...

    Depending, of course, on the software on the other end :-)
	I know there's at least one such product for the PC. Phone
	Anakin for further info.

    (They're also on BIX and CRS, btw)
