I've lost track of the original poster - he will find it very useful. As for the smallest Wacom, I know someone who uses one exclusively as his control device and gave up the mouse completely (unless he has to use one on occasions) after a severe case of CTS. I got a chance to try out several different sizes and settled on the 6x8. The large ones are a bit cumbersome for my needs. I do keep the mouse connected because the boys/wife uses the S900 occasionally. ---------- re - With our machines I find it a plus that I can use a Microsoft Intellapoint (USB) mouse with a ADB Wacom tablet so if I start up with extensions off, the pen acts as a mouse where the USB mouse is not enabled at all. I hope this wasn't too OT. On my machine (S900 - 9.1), if I boot with extensions off the tablet pointer sorta turns mousy and I have to drag the cursor with the pen, so to speak. The normal movement scaling is all whacked out - it will get the job done but the ADB mouse works better for me. OT ? Hardly - it is nice to see the S900 continuing to function as a graphics machine for many folks out there. Alan -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
