Does anybody use one of the Wacom Intuos3 or Graphire tablets as in input
device with their TPC (Motion M1400 in particular)? Are there any known
issues such as driver collisions?

Cheers!

Hi Chris,

I have limited real estate here in the office. At the moment, I have my
desktop which has two 18" LCD displays, keyboard, and mouse on the desk. I
have the Motion docked next two the displays. I have a keyboard and mouse
attached to the docking station. When the tablet is docked, I will usually
use the mouse for input unless there is a specific need for a signature.

Both keyboards and mice share the workspace and they're not always playing
nicely either. It gets a little crowded on the desk top from time to time.
I'm thinking about a KVM switch for the desktop and tablet to reduce the
clutter since I'm generally using both machines at the same time. In
addition, I'm considering using one of the Wacom digitizers for the input
device on the desktop machine. If I'm going to use a KVM switch and I would
like to use a digitizer for one machine, whatever I use for the desktop will
need to live with the M1400.

I know it sounds twisted but I'm really tired of having two keyboards and
mice on the desk.

You sound like a set-up similar to what I have, except you're up one LCD
display on me, but minus one computer. 8-) I've got a KVM switch between
two desktops, sharing a monitor, keyboard and mouse, plus I've got two
Tablets. I don't have room for an external pad, but don't need one with the
KVM. 8-)

Hi Chris,

I have a notebook that is networked at another workstation here in the
office and an old Mac sitting on another workstation too. The Mac doesn't
count though. I'm going to be tossing it in the can whenever I find a
suitable replacement. I'm only using it for testing nowadays. I'd like to
see the new Mac that was announce this week. However, the notebook and Mac
are not at my primary workstation.

The hardest thing for me is when I'm working on my left display and want to
do something on the tablet. I invariably run my mouse to the right and get
confused when it doesn't show up on the tablet display. It's terribly
frustrating sometimes. ;)

I was thinking it would be nice to have a digitizer to use with the graphics
apps on my desktop. And before spending $300+ for an input device, I thought
I check to see if there were any known conflicts or other problems being
experienced with tablets.

It sounds like you're adding more hardware and another point to further
confuse you, Howard. LOL! Wouldn't it be easier to get a KVM switch (even
a two-port) and eliminate some of the redundancy?

Now, don't laugh, but I was working on some stuff while on my Tablet PC in
the living room - and watching an NBA basketball playoff game last year.
Because I was flipping rapidly between items, cutting, pasting and trying to
align things, I was using a Microsoft Notebook Mouse with my M200.

The unfortunate thing was I apparently was too involved in the basketball
game on the TV, and was being frustrated by one of the guards who couldn't
seem to stick with his man defensively.

So, what was I doing? I caught myself trying to assist the player's
positioning by guiding him with my mouse! Like a video game. 8-)

And you think you've got problems. 8-)

Gee Chris, I thought that was what we were chatting about... I have two
keyboards and two mice here on the desk and am planning on getting the KVM
to eliminate the redundancy as you pointed out. My thoughts were to use the
Intuos3 with the 5 button mouse as a shared input device for the desktop and
tablet. I'm not planning on working on the notebook or Mac from this work
station. At least not at this time. Sorry about not being more clear in the
description. But yeah, I think we're on the same page now.

Did they win? ;)

Ahhhh! Okay, I see now. 8-) No, they didn't win. The guard I was trying
to control was burned for too many three-pointers. 8-)
