Yes! In fact if you are like me, once you start using a tablet for everything you'll have trouble returning to the slow old mouse!
Tablets take a little time to get used to, but for most things are much faster than mice!

You should contact Wacom support, they answered me quickly, but most likely yes. My experience is with a Bamboo pen on an older tablet, it works perfect. Wacom has a good backwards compatibility policy.
High quality graphic tablets include the Wacom Intuos4, MonoPrice #6251, Wacom Bamboo Create, Wacom Cintiq, and VTPenPad. The price of these vary, and are listed on Amazon from 39.99 to 199.99.
yes, on ebay.com
Actually you don't.. aside from replacing the nib when needed and occasionally blowing the dust off it, it requires no cleaning or maintenance!! I had a bamboo for three years and have moved to a pen and touch now going on two years... never cleaned either to speak of. I had a friend who had a wacom so old that it wasn't even USB.. he needed an adapter and it still works!
He used a Wacom medium Bamboo Tablet.
Take it into the store you bought it from and they will do it for you.
It's excellent. Easy to use and brilliant. Check out Simon's Cat. Simon does the animation using a Bamboo.
No it doesnt

It depends on which bamboo tablet you want. The one I got, the bamboo pen and touch, came with PSE 7 for mac and PSE 8 for windows.
No. Only the Intuos line has this feature.

The significant difference between the two models lies in the pressure sensitivity of each tablet. The Intuos model is much more sensitive--it has some 2000 levels of pressure sensitivity, versus the around 1000 levels of sensitivity in the Bamboo Fun. :)
Just go with Wacom. They have the best quality of graphic tablets. If you want cheaper, pick their Wacom Bamboo. It's under $100.
It does require some installation, but it's a very simple process.
A "wacom" can refer to a couple different devices. The most basic is essentially just a large touchpad. Artists use a stylus to draw pictures on a computer. More advanced devices are like a hand-held touchscreen, used in much the same way. The expensive ones are touch-sensitive, so they can respond differently depending on how much pressure is applied.
