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.

The package would be used in a technical/educational environment, i.e. largely
for drawing diagrams of varying complexity, though it would also be used to a
lesser extent for other purposes, e.g. cover sheets. At the moment colour
capabilities are not that important, although this might change in the near
future.

[By the way, simpler drawing programs such as MacDraw are not up to the job.]
