Freehand and Rosetta, hummmm.......

[Motoeuro]

Hi All,

Like you, I love Freehand and simply cant get away with Illustrator. Probably unlike you, I am using a Mac G5 tower running Freehand MX (v.11.0) with operating system Tiger (OSX 10.4). My poor G5 is nearing the ends of it's life and I fancy a MacBook Pro, but what are your thoughts on Freehand running on Snow Leopard but via emulation with Rosetta ??? Anyone else working like this ? I fear emulation will slow Freehand down back to OS8 levels

I see Rosetta is not available on Lion and in fact, i cant even find Rosetta on the Apple site now !

So I guess eBay beckons for a pre-Lion MacBook.

Any advice would be fantastic, thank you all in advance

MotoEuro.

Would far prefer a work around if there is one as I have never used a PC - Been working on macs since 1994 (OS7!) so the whole PC thing isnt my 1st choice.

Having said that, I can get a good PC Lappy for £400.... saving £1000 on a MacBook Pro

What a pointless discussion.
@spamjim - the majority of the FreeFreehand members are trying to find a way to keep FH on their "Macs". Do you have a problem with this? Why do you keep repeating that we should use FH with PC's?
If there is a troll here, its you who fits the definition perfectly.

I have an iMac running Snow Leopard. Using the directions on this website's home page, I can use my FreeHand files again. I also have access to a PC. Never touch it! Why anyone with a Mac would bother with one is a mystery to me!
