Flash technology

Hi, i've downloaded flash and i'm just starting to warm up but i get the gist of it. Though i find it difficult to continuously draw my own frames (because i'm using my actuall artwork) then scan them. I've heard of tablettes and touch screen computers with cool drawing computer-pens, but i live in Australia and i need to know what are the best brands, how much do they cost and where can i buy them?
Thanx,
$moG out.

I personally use a Small Bamboo Fun from Wacom (nothing on this site has been done with that =p).
Pretty cheap and available for purchase from their site:

It is a good tablet if you just want to try one out and see if a more expensive and feature loaded model is worth the investment.

Wacom's a good brand indeed, I'm currently using the Graphire4 and it's great, not too expensive aswell

The actual screens/moniters that you can draw on go for upwards of $2000, so don't even think about those unless you are planning on doing this professionally, and are going to make lots of money with it.

im using a small bamboo. its not a fun tho. just a bamboo, 7.68 by 7.33 inches total. this one i got for about 60 bucks, and is very good for a starter tablet. even though i just got it three days ago, i still want a bamboo fun.

oh, guess what? i was just watching cybershak and they mentioned some cool laptop with a built in wacom touch pad. The thing is, it's more expensive than probably anything you could ever buy at once. $7000. yeah. ouch. like a stab with a butter knife. I don't know wether i should get it or not cuz i want to get a new comp, wireless mouse, wacom tablet and really fast internet. I'm just a kid but heck, i want to persue a career in art/tooning.

Wacom is the best brand of drawing tablets. I have one, and it works great.
