Ha ha I too used Aldus Pagemaker. I learned it in college and learned on the 4" macs. Our computer lab had 8 at UofL. Got them in 1996 crazy to design on that... wait aren't we moving to that on smart phones? Wow!
I went through the whole Pagemaker to Quark to Indesign. And Indesign is Pagemaker and I have always liked Pagemaker better. I had to design 32 page magazines and Pagemaker aka Indesign works so much better. Yep Freehand has an auto trace tool that creates points - love it! when I need to draw something that is not mine but I need the points and the shape. LOVE IT! Like I said Freehand has a tool that illustrator doesn't and I love to use it when being very creative for a very specific reason. So I can't use it often but I do every once in awhile. I use Indesign/Photoshop/Illustrator at least every other day. Thanks for all your help!

I use SheepShaver under Mountain Lion because I have hypercard stacks I cannot part with. For what little I use it for, it works. It would certainly be worth a try for running old MacOS software.
