PCPaint is good. Its interface is very MAC-like.  You might wish to
consider DR.HALO by Media Cybernetics.  Dr.Halo is VERY fast and offers
a superb TEXT generation facility.  The documentation is pretty good and
the installation procedures are a breeze.

If you are looking for a package with a mouse then I recommend you
purchase a mouse that comes with software.  For ~$90 you can get a
Visimouse and PCPaint.  This mouse is optical and is made by Mouse
Systems (it says so on the bottom of the mouse). Check current issues
of PCWeek and PC Magazine for more information.
