Over the past few weeks I have had the chance to play around with the Wacom Intuos 3, I have been planning to get a Bamboo for a while now but I would prefer to get photoshop first. I was lent the Wacom Intous 3 and have enjoyed it and actually found it as a feasible mouse replacement in some cases. I have played on it in Photoshop and Pixelmator, and have to say it really does do a great job and the pressure sensitivity is really effective.
The Tablet has buttons down each side and a thin, long, trackpad used for scrolling which I found to be ineffective. The
buttons we not much use earthier the only one I used was the 
scroll one which let you scroll on the main trackpad. The pen was comfortable and nicely shaped for a hand, the secondary click button was well placed but high up the same button was the double click whic h was hard to use and just seemed to be in the wrong place. The drivers are really useful and allow you to program (almost) any function to a button on the tablet or the pen. I did not have the mouse that come with the tablet, but to be honest I don't think you need one you could spend most of your time using the tablet itself as a mouse.
In my comments I have finally managed to implement code that highlights the authors comments. I found it hard to find stuff to work with my theme. If you search google you will find hundreds of tutorial on how to highlight the post authors comments but none seemed to work with my theme, but I found a way around it. Again I will show you the code to help you understand what I did.
