@PaganArtist: I seem to recall getting the driver from here:

http://www.wacom.com/downloads/drivers.php

I don't remember installing it though or if I have the newest version :)

After going through this thread it prompted me to take a look again at Wacom's site and I really like the new Bamboo tablet. So I'm tempted to buy it and give my first gen Bamboo to my kid :)
