Advantages: Smaller by a long shot compared to the G6 Disadvantages: Bad software and unintuitive installation.
...myself as I placed the G2 next to my mouse-mat while simultaneously getting ready to start the installation. After installing the G6 I kinda new what to expect but that didn't mean that I was happy about it. To be honest the drivers for this GT are somewhat lacking in, well, everything.
I wish I could tell you that it installed easily but I would be lying and it wasn't until the fourth attempt that I even managed to get my system to recognise that ... ...neither the G6 nor the G2 were going to be of benefit to me in anyway, in fact they were more of a hinderence that anything else.

Summary: An excellent graphics tablet for home use, but it simply doesn't work on WindowsNT. Integrates well with most graphics editing packages, ...

Advantages: serial port connection Disadvantages: poor drivers and software
...The feel for the tablet is very poor, and doesn't correspond well to the on screen image. After a week I decided to give a different product a try, so the G2 got returned to the box and shop! If I were you, don't bother with this one! ...
