Hi TwinSnakes,

Don't know what kind of Wacom you have but have my Intuos 3 set to 'mouse' mode.

I then can 'drag' the cursor across the screen in a mouse like way. This is great for me as I have developed RSI in my shoulder and it saves me moving the arm around too much across my dual screens.

So if you really can't get used to the absolute (pen) mode then try mouse mode.
