If I understand correctly, USB wacom tablets follow the USB HID
standard.  What would really rock would be for squeak to easily be able
to use any such device with a small amount of configuration.  I don't
know how realistic this is on windows though, since they seem to want to
hide all such devices behind other drivers.

Unfortunately, all my cool devices are serial at the moment.  I'd love
to get some cool USB HID devices to play with.  Same old lack of time
and money though.  

BTW, my wacom in squeak works fine under linux.  Of course, it isn't
presure sensitive or anything.  And the button situation is nicer when
using a mouse.  I find I pretty much only use my wacom when running the
gimp.
