|I am trying to decide whether to buy Aldus Freehand or Adobe Illustrator.
|Unfortunately, nowhere round here seems to be able to provide a demo copy
|of either of these programs!
|I'd be most grateful for any advice/opinions/experience on these two
|packages, particularly Illustrator. I have used Freehand and quite liked it.

Well, I use them both at my job as a Graphics Artist, and I must say that I
like Freehand 2.03 better then Illustrator 3.0.  I played with Freehand 3.0
at MacWorld, and I must say that Freehand has been made even better.

I vote: Freehand!
