The Rest... / Freehand. Open Source?

I came upon this site. They are trying to save Freehand by making it open source application.
Why don't these people let it go? Freehand is dead! :death:

Its hard to believe that is how things where done in our industry.
Such museums should be saved because I don't thing people really realized how printing changed our world.
I hope they save this museum.

General Prepress / Prepress Sign
January 13, 2010, 07:18:37 PM
While I was on the phone with Xerox, listening to their elevator music while on hold during a nearly 1 1/2 hour of being passed from one person to another. I was thinking, if management would let me put up a sign to the entrance of prepress, this is what it would say:

"Notice: Please remove all sharp objects from one's possession before entering. Do NOT stare at the prepress person, especially when he is talking with the 'little people' in the Xerox copier. Also, Do NOT look the prepress person in the eye as this tends to lead to objects being thrown. If the prepress person has a sharp object in his possession, back away slowly and head to the nearest exit. Immediately inform management of the situation, you will then be escorted to the parking lot with all other evacuated employees. Do NOT for any reason re-enter the building until the SWAT team has entered the building and subdued the prepress person. We hope you enjoyed your visit. Have a Nice Day."

Of course, I'm sure management wouldn't go for it. The 'little people' in the Xerox like the idea!

I thought you guys would really enjoy this site. I am sure we all can add a few horror stories.
I know I can, that's why they keep sharp objects away from me.
