Uninstall WACOM driver and application for Bamboo tablet pen to avoid overheating a Snow Leopard laptop

I found the Wacom Tablet Driver overuse CPU and cause my snow leopard laptop to overheat. Hence, I decide to remove the Bamboo tablet application and drive.

I first moved /Application/Bamboo/ and /Application/Bamboo Dock to a different folder. I then shutdown and restart laptop, and found the Tablet driver is still running.

$ ps -ef | grep Tab
  501   241   215   0   0:00.04 ??         0:00.16 /Library/Application Support/Tablet/PenTabletDriver.app/Contents/MacOS/PenTabletDriver
  501   269   215   0   0:00.02 ??         0:00.05 /Library/Application Support/Tablet/PenTabletDriver.app/Contents/Resources/ConsumerTouchDriver.app/Contents/MacOS/ConsumerTouchDriver -psn_0_114716

  501   565   437   0   0:00.00 ttys000    0:00.00 grep Tab

/Library/Application Support/Tablet/PenTabletDriver.app/Contents
ace:Contents hongqin$ ls ../../../Tablet/
PenTabletDriver.app PenTabletSpringboard
$ sudo mv PenTablet* /Users/hongqin/Downloads/bamboo-files-to-remove/.


After restart, the Snow Leopard laptop did not overheat again.
