    Adobe and Macromedia duked it out for a decade during the FreeHand vs Illustrator competition. But before that it was Adobe and Aldus slapping each other around over FreeHand and Illustrator except Adobe bought out Aldus in 1994. The Feds said 'no' to taking Aldus FreeHand and put a 10 year penalty on them trying it again. EXACTLY ten years later Adobe buys MM, finally gets FreeHand, and ends its life.

    Yep, Adobe had its eyes on Flash but what a perk it got to also bury that thorn in its side called FreeHand. Wanna bet they would grab and kill Quark if they could?
