For that matter, MacDraw is still usable for simple things. If you're doing printed circuit boards, Osmond is excellent. It's still in "beta" so it's still free. And there are 68K, PPC and OSX versions. Don't let the beta-ness scare you though, I've designed two boards with it so far and it's solid--unless you give different signals identical names. But it keeps the drawings stored in a human readable text file, so you can edit your way out of the identical signal name problem.
