graphics tablet / laptop / Photoshop ergonomics question

I just recieved a graphics tablet for my birthday. While I'm already getting

used to the new controls, I am having trouble figuring out a convenient layout

for my laptop and the graphics tablet so that I can continue to use all the

Photoshop hot keys. What do other people do?

I use a Wacom Intuos3. I don't use it for anything but selection and the brush in

Photoshop, it sits to the right of my keyboard. I use a standard Apple wireless mouse ...

usually on top of the Wacom with a mouse pad to protect the tablet, but when I'm working

all three I pull it down onto the desk in front of the keyboard so that the tablet is available

for use.

Works for me... ;-)
