Win big prizes! no seriously if you have an MBP with wacom tablet and external usb drives please do this test for me before I complain to apple:
With wacom plugged into one usb port and external drive plugged in the other (or via aluminum keyboard port) does your cursor shake?
I have tried two difference usb drives and when they are plugged in the cursor shakes while not functionally shaking, it is noticeable and irritating. I suspect this is some current vibration effect or something like that as the wacom has no external power supply to stabilize it. I checked for ground loops in the system but there are none. Tried both ports and external keyboard ports all exhibit the same behavior. Tried the drives and wacom on an imac, no problems there...
I don't know about u, but I am wondering if Apple's build quality is going downhill...
cheers....
