What is tiresome is that a Moderator on a disscussion forum can attempt to dismiss a comment that has no conclusion with a statement of the obvious and no useful extension to the disscusion. It is a shame that my curiosity for the application will end with a taste of poor integration and stability. I would have gladly tried Freehand MX as an alternative to Illustrator, (which I already use), had the cost been a little more realistic. Not harsh because it's only really a comment (rather than a complaint) on the use of a trial product, I hadn't used Freehand up until the point of getting a bonus version with the Studio MX upgrade, presumably to demonstrate an integrated suite of applications.
