Brandt, I sent you a msg to the address above. In essence, I am running a Mac G4 with
dual 450, and use CADintosh PPC and Canvas 3.0.2 . If your address above is not your
correct address, send me a message to my correct address above and we can get
rolling.

MacDraft. The original and still has the intuitive interface. Kinda
pricy, but perfect for basic stuff.

How about under $30 US?
Try finding a copy of SuperPaint - v3.5 or later (think it only
went to 4.0 before Adobe bought them out and shelved it
because it competed with and was much easier to use
than illustrator. Works up to but not including Mac OS X.
Here's one on e-bay for $16.95+ $6 S&H. item no. 2755765952
(all one line so watch the line wrap)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80075&item=2755765952&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V
do a google search on SuperPaint + pdf
for a pdf file that shows most of what this graphics
package can do.
I use SuperPaint for all the "drawn" illustrations on
my site. Here're some examples of drawings done
with this inexpensive, intutitve yet pwerful old
Mac app
workbench drawing
http://home.comcast.net/~charliebcz/MT/CBbench2.html
Mortise and tenon illustrations
http://home.comcast.net/~charliebcz/MTprimer5.html
Dovetail Marking Gauge DIY
http://home.comcast.net/~charliebcz/DovetaiDrawer17.html
The program will display H & W units so you can do scaled
drawings. If you want to get ideas in computer form and then
play with them somewhat effortlessly - get SuperPaint.

CADintosh is a 2D-CAD program for technical and architectural drawings.
From the Graphics Converter folks. About $33.

I've been using MacDraft for many years. It's fairly powerful and easy
to use, if a bit pricy. www.macdraft.com.
