Ah, very good to know. Thanks for the info!
Ah maybe I've got the mouse set to pen mode, maybe that's why it's slow? If I could use the wacom mouse as the default that would mean one fewer wire on the table. I'll look into it tonight.
The tablet was waiting for me when I got home tonight! Woot! He's a beaut too. I had it up and running with ease and started right in seeing what it could do. Office 2003, PhotoShop and Poser all proved to benefit greatly from the tablet. I had a ton of fun actually writing in Word and watching it get converted to text as I went. PhotoShop is going to take some configuring, but since I have two sets of buttons I basically have 10 different things I can record in plus the pressure settings. It was amazing how intuitive manipulating a 3d image is in Poser when you don't have to translate movements to the mouse and can use a more natural movement of a pen. All in all it was a great starting experience. I'm taking it with me to work tomorrow to get more comfortable with it.
The various issues that were stated above did not ring true for me which I was very relived to discover. It was very intuitive, and I now completely understand why folks were saying they loved their tablets.
Over the next few days, I'll be configuring it for each of the apps it will be used with. I'm particularly curious about Campaign Cartographer 3 and how that will work as the templates I've seen for it assumed a normal aspect ratio whereas my template is widescreen format. I'm hoping that it won't present a problem at all.
Sweeeetness, RP. Now let's see those maps start flowing!! No excuses anymore, buddy!

Yea, but then that means I'll be subjecting you all to my horrible mapping skills. Not to mention my mean and nasty critiques as I rip my map apart.
