I got my tablet today and have used it about 30 mins. This is Wacom Intuos3, 6 x 8..   First thing is I did not realize how small an area I had used with a mouse. For the time being, I have remapped the tablet to a smaller size until I get used to it.

Second thing, maybe I have not found the answer in the help stuff but zoom in Photoshop CS2 has been a real problem with the "strips" on the tablet sides.  I can zoom but cannot keep the position of the zoom. Move finger from the strip and it zooms to max.  Can someone tell me how to better use this feature or if using the pen and choosing the zoom in CS2 would be better.

Also, scrolling in my mail (outlook express) simply does not work.  The pen will not grab the bar and scroll or work with the up/down arrows. All jumps right back to where it was.  I may have some fixes to do with set up which I don't yet understand.

As for doing selections in Photoshop, this thing is a dream come true...I just have to get used to the pen instead of the mouse.

Thanks for any input.  Beginner tablet user..Tom.  : )
