"And what's a Wacom Graphire 4?" you ask.... So let's begin with a picture...

It's a Pen Tablet with a 6" by 8" drawing surface, on which you use a special stylus pen to write or to edit images or create drawings with an installed graphics program. It works through the graphics program's editing features to create drawings or edit existing images. You can also use its wireless mouse in place of your regular one, in which case the drawing surface acts like a mouse pad for it. The surface of the tablet is mapped to your monitor screen so that it corresponds to any point on the screen. It plugs into a USB port in your computer, and is always ready to use. 

When its driver is installed, it adds an item to Control Panel which will show you its Properties and let you configure the features for it.

This began as a simple scribble, and then I got carried away..... this is so much fun, it's hard to quit. Here's the website for these.
