I'm already used to that but I'm moving the mouse, obviously, a bit more
than usual. Even though I learned with commands only with only a small
reliance on the tablet, I now personally perfer icons, mouse and pull downs.
One other thing I noticed was that I'm moving my head more! lol Actually,
I'm taking your advice since I'm using more shortcuts than I did before
getting my new computer and monitor. Also, to rid myself of the icons would
only give me, perhaps, 1/2" more of drawing at the top with nothing on the
sides. When I have my drawings to the extends, it has a lot of space left
to right of drawing. That is why is all but zoom icons to the left & right
of the screen. Later.
