Hi Judy

Couldn't agree more! I too continue to do all my drawing in FreeHand whilst
trying to come to terms with Illustrator's tools and interface. I've recently
upgraded to a new MacPro & Leopard and FreeHand still rocks! Unfortunately
printing from FH under Leopard is crippled, but not insurmountably. You can no
longer print directly from FH without losing all fonts (you can of course
convert to paths but this is not an acceptable solution for me) and you can no
longer print to the Adobe Pdf printer driver (again, this seems to be a font/s
issue) BUT you CAN still print to postscript and distill for Pdf or Eps output.
Or if the art is not overly complex, just open in AICS3 and print from there.

I too would like to thank you for all your advice and extraordinary generosity
of spirit here over the years.

Cheers
Les
