Hi Tom,
Although I have been buying brushes and filters off this site for about 5 months, I never really took the time to explore the site and communities until a week or so ago, so I missed your original post, but I'll look for it :o)

I have not quite had my Wacom tablet for a year, but I wholeheartedly agree with you, the learning curve is like hitting a brick wall at 100 Mph.  Purely by accident several months ago, I placed the tablet about level with my thigh, so it took getting it off the desk and positioned more comfortably for me. It was like magic and now the tablet is an awesome tool I can not live without!!

My zoom doesn't work either, but I'm going to start making a pain of myself on Wacom Support tomorrow morning :o)

Thanks so much!!
Dave
