I just got one for Christmas, I was so happy....then, I downloaded the driver and s***(excuse my language, Im really ticked off..) and the pen doesnt frikin work, and I have spent 5 HOURS TRYING TO FIX IT

Im taking it back XP

After only a few hours of drawing with my new Wacom Bamboo pen and touch the pen tip is so worn off I can't believe it. My work area is also scratched and all this just for a few hours of use. I recommend for people who draw a lot not to get this product. I've had cheaper tablets than Wacom's that are with a lot higher quality.

Looking at the orientation of the text on the tablet, surely the cable does come out of the top of the device, and the buttons are at the top, so you don't need to rotate the pad 180 degrees?

(Although the text on the device suggests otherwise, the images show the standard orientation of the device - ed)
