Then you have probably already tried it sometimes with GZZ? Is it your
personal or project's? My January seem mostly go with umltool and article,
but then I would be interested testing it. Could you bring it to Jkl and
can it be stored at our office (in the room)? If there exists such drivers
for X, which makes it replace mouse, I hope it could be tested even sooner
with PP.

I know almost nothing about Macs. They just look so cute and sometimes,
when I'm getting enough of all tuning with PCs, their approach feel more
reasonable. Anyway, with such support like MacOsX's Inkwell, there would
be no need for explicit support for tablets. But probably there exists
some tablet drivers also for X Windows, which makes their pen work like
mouse?
