Re: Graphics Tablets

I purchased the Wacom about 3 months ago.  No matter what I did, it just
would not work with the program that came with it.  Painter Classic.  It
would start and stop and hang and just generally was ineffectual.  I scoured
the site, d/l all the latest drivers, tried for 48 hours straight and
decided nothing was worth that much hassle.    So as I said I went with the
Calcomp and it hooked up no prob.  This is not a slam on Wacom, it was just
a personal experience.
