| Let's see:
1. Onenote and moving ink around. Yep - get this all the time if I try to move blocks of ink around. For some reason, Onenote wants to move other blocks out of the way and put the one I'm trying to move anywhere except where I want it. I pretty much just don't try to move ink around while in the meeting - I wait till later when I have time to figure it out.
2. Using bullets - Now there I don't know. I never use the bullets or auto-indent lists or anything like that - it always seems to get in the way, and is rarely formatted the way I want it formatted.
3. Getting the task bar to "un-hide". Boy - this was a big one with the Averatec tablet I used to have. The digitizer was flakey around the edges, and even worse when on battery. I always use "auto hide" except on that laptop when at work - It just didn't work well. Now, I'm using a Toshiba M200, and it is much better with the digitizer, so "auto hide" is working well for me (although I "cheated" a little when I calibrated to screen/pen so that the mouse cursor is just slightly toward the screen edge from the pen tip).
4. Writing with the tablet on the table - Yeah - this can be a pain. I tend to sit with my desk chair up as high as it will go, and that helps put me more "over" the tablet, but I do find myself putting my left hand under the back of the table and holding the back end of the tablet up. Also, because of the limited viewing angle on my tablet, it can be hard to read when laying flat. I should mention too that I always use the "primary landscape" mode of the table, just because that's what I'm used to with computers - using portrait mode on a computer just feels wrong. I think the M200 viewing angle is better the long way than the short way, so portrait mode would probably work better when laying flat, but I won't do it.
All in all, I agree pretty much with everything you said. I guess I am just a little more accepting of the problems - or willing to work around them? Anyway, I love the tablet, and can put up with the few "goofy" things.
So you are not alone in the problems that you mention.
