Oh, good. I think I would slip into a coma if I had to wait for such an old machine every day, even if I WAS in love with Freehand (which I used to be).[1] I understand. Remember to watch that that machine can't take a drive over 128 GB without a software hack. And DON'T move it to OS X. Tiger will run on it to a certain extent, but it'll be a lot slower than OS 9.2.2. Especially if you're only using it for Freehand. Something else you MIGHT try is a program called SheepShaver. It allows you to run up to Mac OS 9.0.4 on Intel boxes. I don't know if it'll run in all versions of OS X, but a newer, much faster machine should probably make it more enjoyable. Good luck! j. [1] Trivia: I used PageMaker 1.0 back before Adobe bought it from Aldus. (I had to convert my 128K Mac to a 512KE to be able to use PageMaker 1.2 on it.) I used Freehand from a very early version (forget which), PhotoShop 2 and QuarkXPress from 2.11 WAAAAAAY back in the day. I could get around in Illustrator back then, but was not comfortable with it. InDesign was the perfect convergence tool, totally supplanting my infatuation with PageMaker and XPress. Still use it to this day. Even MORE trivia: I converted all of the logos and Cardinal birds for UofL to eps files back in the late 80s from scans of artwork with Freehand.
