Holy cow your crazy!!! Didnt that hurt?!?!??!
Well you should invest in a table that hooks up to both your laptop and desktop. It makes things a little easier.
Its like having one of those stylist pen thingys. And trust me, I know those programs aren't cheap. My mom graduated as a graphics art major, so I'm familiar with most of the programs. That and I've taken digital photography so we used stuff like Photoshop and illustrator. And expensive hobby that is.
