C'mon, guys... a week and several hundred messages ago I posted:

Unfortunately, so far - a zilch response...

Doesn't /anyone/ use a graphics tablet, or know of someone who does?
In my innocence, I'd assured my friend that he didn't need to worry..

"Hundreds of thousands of skilled Mac people out there?"
"Yeah. You can forget the problem. Our /problem/ will be in sorting
through the megabytes of replies.."

OK, net gods; I've learned to be humble... now, /please,/ may I
have some advice??!!
