I'm getting really sick of the drawing programs we have around work, and I
want to make a pitch for something better.  I like the neat tricks you can
do with Freehand/Illustrator, but I also like the measuring/alignment
precision you can get with a drawing program (MacDraw Pro is what I use
now).

I hear a lot of accolades for Canvas.  But before I push for this program
with the boss, I'd like a little review from someone who uses it a lot,
preferably from someone who's migrated from the MacDraw family.

Special concerns for me are memory (my poor, anemic IIcx has only 5 meg
ram) and speed.  MacDraw Pro 1.01 is so *dog* slow that I've actually
migrated back to MacDraw II. 

My full configuration is Mac IIcx, Apple 21" monochrome, System 7 + tuneup,
5 meg ram and 80 meg Quantum.

I'm not selling out, I'm buying in.
