I don't understand how people use them. The smooth plastic tip on the

be difficult to control, but at least it only goes where you
deliberately move it -- it doesn't take off on its own.

Have you tried going to the control panel and changing the
sensitivity and other settings? Mine has pretty much replaced my
mouse for everything.

Also, you need to be using a picture editing program that makes
use of the tablet's pressure sensitivity, like Photoshop.
