10.6: How to open Freehand MX files in Snow Leopard

In Snow Leopard, when opening Freehand files, the app crashes. The fix is to use the Freehand Clip Art Viewer, which is located in the application’s own folder. If you browse the hard drive with this utility, then you will see thumbnails of your files — simply double-click on them to open. Adobe tech support were of no help at all, as they said Freehand has been upgraded to Illustrator CS4. Hope this helps other frustrated Freehand

I really like browsing without all the flashy ads around, so I’ve been using the filtering-proxy Privoxy now for many years. But there is no longer support for Mac OS X, as there isn’t a maintainer for the Mac OS X port any more. MacPorts still has 3.0.12, which has some major bugs (timeouts), so I decided to build from source. Here’s...
I support quite a few people who use USB 3G dongles; many have moved to Snow Leopard, where some have been having problems. None of these people are having problems with Vodaphone, as they support the Mac very well, and have up-to-date 64-bit drivers.
