Yeah well.. FreeHand is on its way out, anyway. My last version was in MX. I keep it around just cause.. I would hold off on any "NEW" proposals to a new boss. Just give it time & they will come around.>
From what I have bee reading on Adobe.com and through their press releases, it looks like they are really going to incorporate a lot of the tools between the Macromedia purchase... if you hold out, maybe you can get your hands on the CS3 Master Collection....
