My dog recently distroyed my Mighty Mouse (Mac).  I currently using a Mac Pro laptop.  A new one will come the Mac Pro desktop I hope too buy as soon as the Leopard OS is released this month.

The point is that I have to use a trackpad, and I am going nuts.  It hovers and picks up stuff I don't want.  This is really difficult with e-mail getting deleted.  I know it is just me doing something wrong.
Can't wait to get my new Mighty Mouse, etc.

I had the same reaction Hawkfyr, didn't use my tablet for a very long time and thought i made a stupid purchase, that I didn't need it.  What turned me around was that I did a painting that I needed to do some fine detail work.  The mouse just wasn't cutting it.  So, I picked up the tablet, and it was so easy to accomplish what I wanted to do.  I began using it only for fine detail work, then a little more, and all of a sudden I found I was really into the tablet.   Now, I catch myself with the mouse in hand, and I laugh (habit), then quickly grab my tablet.

Once I begin using it on a painting, i tend to use it for everything during that session, navigating files, clicking in general.

I wouldn't get rid of your tablet, Hawkfyr, try what I did, doing something that is a little more dificult  when using a mouse, then use the tablet and see the difference.  It might not be dramatic at first.  It grows on you.

And for the price.... Wow!  It would be a bummer if you found you could use it later, and be left with a big financial outlay.
