It turns that there must be some problem with either the bamboo itself or it's pen, because I can't use it anymore. It won't recognize the pen at the thin end. The thick end of the pen is still working. I wonder if by replacing it's nib the problem will be solved.

Despite this issue, I sure could be using this gadged for a long time. It fits all my needs.

It was tricky not looking at what I'm doing, but got used to it quickly. Got it super cheap too, so I'm double happy. Happen to have two Tablet PC's now, so it doesn't get as much use, but it's fair easier to carry/power than the Tablet PC so it has it's moments of glory...

I've had this tablet for about 6 months. I still find the mouse to be a more comfortable editing tool. Perhaps I have not given the tablet the chance that it deserves. How do you use the tablet? Do you find it useful?
