I recently acquired a copy of Virtuoso. Since it can support the Wacom tablet, I would like to determine if it is worth getting one. I have no idea of how much it costs and what other applications can use the Wacom tablet. Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. govind -- T.

Wacom's generally cost several hundred dollars, pick up any Mac magazine. The 6x9 pad is very compact and nice, I think it's under $500. The larger tablets (I have the 12x12 electrostatic) are very nice but definitely take up space (the power supply is under the tablet, as opposed to running through a wire to the tablet). Let me check... Hmm. I can't find a Mac magazine quickly to check, but I remember that the last time I recommended a Wacom purchase, I found the cheapest price to be one of those 900 number Mac vendors (I think it was in TX). I believe the electrostatic 12x12 was about $700. If you're a programmer, the interface to using the pressure info is very nice (thanks Peter!). There's a good demo in /NextDeveloper/Examples/AppKit/UnderPressure. I find the Wacom to be a wonderful device to use, and wish more software supported it (i.e. Appsoft Image). Hopefully more will this year. -- --> Michael B.

It's an ADB drawing tablet (6" x 8") that they were selling at MacWorld for $299. ...Michael Brill -- ----
