Yesterday I bought a Trust 400 pen tablet from maplins. The pen works well
but the mouse supplied with it is a shoddy disgrace and I've left it in the
box. The pen has been really useful though. I wanted to buy a better pen for
it, and saw some really formidable airbrush/stroke pens on the web. I
enquired of Maplin's "technical advice" email if any other pens would work
with Trust tablets as an industry standard or if I was stuck with Trust pens
only, and if I could in that case buy a spare pen for it.
The reply came back from Tim Jacobs of maplins "technical" department:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
"I am afraid we do not sell the pens separately and because of this I could
not tell you if they are specific or industry standard.
Sorry I could not help at this time."
Best Regards
Tim Jacobs.

Not only can they not supply any information about the hardware I just this
second bought off them but even though it's still in their catalogue they
can't supply spares for it either!
I did not realize they were selling me a proprietary and non-standard device
about which they appear to know nothing.
I'm surprized. Maplin have always struck me as being straight shooters.
