Mac Users Beware [Posted on 2001-08-31] Something that you should be aware before buying this product. If you own a Mac, 3 of the applications that are provided will not work (Pen Office, Sensiva and ActiveShare) since they are PC only. Worse yet, if you run OSX, you cannot use any of the "real" features of the tablet since the OSX drivers are not yet ready. What that leaves you is mouse emulation mode for the tablet. Personally, that is a lot of missing stuff if you own a Mac.
Great tool for an artist - Bad tool for the average user [Posted on 2001-12-15] Wacom tablets are the best choice for a pen type interface. It takes a while to adjust, but once adjusted, it works much faster and precise than a mouse. It works great for illustration work and graphic design. If you are not a professional artist/designer, this may not be a good investment of your money. It's not ideal for general usage since it lacks a scroll button like newer mouses. The wacom mouse just isn't usable unless as a backup. Another factor is the pen is small and can easily be lost or misplaced. If so, you are in trouble. The replacement for the pen or the mouse costs ($) (($) total) from wacom.com. Shipping is "free", but a unscrupulous ($) handling fee is added. No other stores sell replacements, so wacom obviously exploits the situation with inflated prices and poor service.

I like this product very much BUT.... [Posted on 2002-01-09] the radio station nearby seems to interfere with it. The cursor on the screen jiggles so much that I can hardly use it. The Painter software and the pen tool are great. The cordless operation and smooth movement of the mouse are great (there are a few times when the cursor doesn't jiggle). I wish I could use it more.
COOL TOOL [Posted on 2002-01-30] just got the wacom tablet/with mouse.it installed easily and works great.if you do not have any graphics programs the adobe le and corel painter(included) is all you need to start out.the tool is easy to use and the price is right.i recommend it for anyone that is interested in doing artistic or graphic type work.
