I think this is the correct assessment.

I changed from using a mouse with my WallStreet PowerBook when at my desk to
an A6 Wacom tablet and I like it so much more than any other input device
and it makes the frequent changes from the Mac to the Newt much smoother -
except when I use the Newt stylus on the tablet and nothing happens...

As I am unlikely to use OS X in the forseeable future, InkWell is of no
immediate interest but then I have a better solution already!

Joel.
