And now, my two cents:

I never could get used to the disconnect between separate tablet and 
monitor-over-there, and one being horizontal and the other vertical did 
not help.  So I got a tabletpc.

Software-wise, I swear by Sketchbook Pro, and find ArtRage an adequate 
simulation of real-world media (especially the pencil).  Painter, 
another famous attempt at real-world media simulation is, quite frankly, 
crap--ArtRage is light-years beyond it.  GIMP is a horrid imitation of 
all the worst aspects of Photoshop, which itself is a bloated 
monstrosity that's not really for drawing--it's for photo editing.
