Digital BW, The Print

Hi.  This is my first post to this forum, although I have been
monitoring it for some time.

I've been reading the discussion about the wacom tablets with
interest.  I was wondering what people's experience was with using one
(especially the smaller 4x5 ones) with two monitors.  I've read mixed
reactions elsewhere about how well that works.  Thanks.
