> Where can I get a trial download of Freehand with some good tutorials?

Learning FreeHand now may not be completely waste of time but being not very compatible with OSX, outdated even years ago and discontinued by Adobe FreeHand is not necessarily the best choice. On the other hand it is still usable and if you master one graphic program it is easy to master any other.

The Freehand Source has always been a good source. http://www.freehandsource.com

Making tutorials is always good way to learn but it is best to soon try to make something from the scratch. It will take a lot of time and may be frustrating at times but you'll learn a lot more. FreeHand help file and manual are very good sources and it is good to learn how to use them from the start. As memory serves there is a few tutorials too.
