It probably depends on experience. I'm sure my tablet is working
perfectly, but it's conflicting with my mouse-trained behavior.
When I'm moving the cursor and my mouse gets close to the edge of my
desk, I pick it up and set it down in the middle of the clear area. Then
I continue moving my mouse to move the cursor.
But when I try that with a tablet, the cursor jumps to the middle of the
screen as soon as I set the pen down in the middle of the tablet. If I
want to access the corners of my screen, I have to touch the corners of
my device. It's taking some time to get used to it.
Cheers,
Eric
