Well, I just got my copy of Illustrator 3.0. 
Wow.
Actually, since I'm a dyed-in-the-wool FreeHand 2.02 user, I'm a bit skeptical
about learning something new. But, if nothing else, the ability to make
outlines out of fonts (wihtout buying Metamorphosis et. al.) is absolutely
indispensible! Any comments, reactions, insights, ideas, neato, undocumented,
or otherwise just way cool things to do with this new gem? Just thought I'd
open the bandwidth to some discussion.

P.S. I still think that FreeHand is a better program, and when 3.0 comes out
next quarter, Illustrator will probably find a semi-permanent home on the
shelf.

P.P.S. I looked through the manual, but can't seem to find anyway to ALIGN
objects. It _must_ be possible, e.g., to align centers, tops, distribute, etc.,
just like FreeHand's ALIGN command. All Illustrator knows about "Alignment" in
the index is Left, Center, Right, and Justified!
