RE: Two-Monitor & Wacom Issue

["Paul D. DeRocco" <pderocco@ix.netcom.com>]

That's very likely. The Wacom tablet does use some sort of low frequency
(hundreds of kilohertz, I'd guess) field, and monitors tend to emit lots of
electromagnetic energy at the horizontal scan rate and its harmonics. And if
there are two monitors with slightly different scan rates, that could cause
interference at the lower beat frequency. If it's magnetic, there's not much
you can do about it but move the tablet further away; if it's electrostatic,
shielding can help.
