I'm a newbie to the forum so apologies if this has already been covered!
I love FH. Have used it since 1996. I don't like illustrator and don't wish to change (I have it, I just don't use it!)
I'm on a current model iMac. I use FH on my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 via screen sharing. Works perfectly except yesterday my MacBook died $%£!
So, I've tried VMware, Parallels and VirtualBox. None of which worked despite much effort and frustration. With VMware and Parallels the grey screen with the apple logo is replaced by a darker grey screen and the rainbow spinning wheel of terror and it doesn't progress past there. I did test virtualising on an older mac and it was fine so my Snow Leopard Server disc is fine. On the newer machine it just seems to get stuck...
I also tried Crossover and a windows version of Freehand but you can't open Mac files (of which I have many!)
Next option is to buy a PC and make a 10.8.6 hackintosh but that's costly and clunky.
Can someone out there shed some light?! Maybe someone who's had the same issue and overcome it!?
Many thanks!
Fred.
