@xkastorffy: "The general feel on the ACD forums is that Canvas X is in trouble...ACD 
seems to be silent on the issue of whether an Intel native version of 
Canvas is in the works. I've been a Canvas users since version 1.0 on 
the Mac, but I'm a bit reluctant to upgrade to Canvas X now that I've 
got an Intel Mac (still using Canvas 9.x at the moment on Windows and 
my PPC iMac ATM). Any opinions on Canvas' Mac future? How well does the 
current PPC version run in Rosetta?

Without starting a flame war (is that possible?), I wonder what is the 
latest Canvas user experience like?  I used Canvas for several years and 
*loved* the 3.x versions.  Best graphics program for my needs ever.  I 
wish it ran on OS X.  I am relegated to using Adobe Illustrator  
Powerful, but lousy interface, confusing, and clumsy compared to the old 
Canvas.  Problem is, when Canvas went to 5.0 and later 8.x I tried them 
both out and found a nightmare of Windows-like interface and bugs.  Gone 
was the useful, well-designed Canvas 3.x I knew.  I gave up on Canvas 
after those two attempts to go back. 
I ask this question (above) because I find the Mac is in a peculiar 
place today.  The great graphics environment that spawned eary GUI 
graphics programs leading up to Canvas 3.x seems to be gone.  All that's 
left is the high-end Illustrator, some niche products (Intaglio and 
EZDraw) and Pages (not bad, but it's no Canvas 3.x by a long shot).  I'd 
love to have that great drawing program back, but I don't want to dump 
big bucks into yet another disappointment.
Comments?  (sorry about the long rant)

I have similar views.  I still have a copy of Canvas 3.0 on my G5 Mac.
To run it under classic, you have to turn the clock back to 1999
or earlier.  But I still use it occasionally on some old documents I
have.
I also have a more recent edition of Canvas somewhere, but I never use
it anymore.  For example, it gave up the ability to open MacDraw
documents."
