I want to thank the folks who told me in such positive words the value of using a pressure tablet for photo editing and graphics work.  With a few uses behind me now, I will tell my experience.

First of all..this device is wonderful!  At first use, I was overtaken by the sensitivity and thought I will never get used to this thing.  The learning curve seemed so steep at first then with a little more play became suddenly much less steep and lots of fun to boot.  

Sure, I am not fluid with it yet but am comfortable with the tablet and very glad to have it.  The sensitivity is now an asset and I am learning how to use various paint program tools to take advantage of the tablet.

On first installation, zoom did not work but an email to Wacom solved that. It took a week but I was given a link to a new driver and instructions on exactly how to reinstall.  All works just as is is supposed to work now.

Thanks for the encouragement.  I see the tablet as a true asset in my work.       Tom.
