Should be able to get an A5 graphics tablet for that sort of
money, IIRC. Takes a bit of getting used to drawing with
your hand and looking at the screen (rather than the
'paper'), but it's surprisingly close to normal drawing. I
like Corel Painter as a drawing program, but I hardly use it
these days so there might be more up to date stuff out
there. HTH.

I have a first generation Intuos 1 and it still works like
the first day, it's A4 size which is the most natural size
in my opinion at least, you can get one of these on eBay for
something like 120 Euro or less, have in mind they are
serial not USB, Intuos 2 and 3 are USB.

You can also get a modern one like a Wacom Bamboo A5 size
for the amount of money you want to spend, probably the best
deal for you.

For directly on screen there's the cintiq but the price is
really high and not as good as some people would imagine.

Wow, I had no idea you could get A4 ones so cheap. I would
have killed for one when I was doing multimedia.

I've wanted a tablet with a nice stylus for a long time
now.. always wanted to get more into computer drawing, as I
grew up drawing with pencil and paper as a hobby. This
thread has renewed my interest a bit, once I've got some
more money I'll probably pick up a mid-range one.

color my ink drawings and its really good.

It's great to use on the sequencer to input notes and other
programs as well, saves your wrists from carpel tunnel
syndrome.

that's cool, I didn't think about using it with other
applications... but that sounds great. I'll definitely have
to pick one up, now. :]
