Re: teach yourself illustrator CS3
The major issues with programs like Superpaint is that it creates raster images rather than vector art, and the files tend to be much larger for anything close to full size, even at the lowest resolution considered high res (300DPI).

He's used to Autosketch for technical drawing, but this doesn't work on the mac - even the wonderful Crossover turns up its nose. So I've given him my copy of Creative Suite 3 so he can use Illustrator. I've tried to teach him some things and written a few exercises, but I'm not a good teacher, and most of the time I'm 350 miles from my parents.

G'day Bruce. As an aside, have you set up a screen sharing link with both Macs, so you can show your parents what to do? Skype makes it easy, but you do need reasonably fast links. Skype suggest 300 KBs. I find screen sharing invaluable, even from a few kilometers away.

You can still buy a brand new copy for as little as $3.37 (plus shipping) from an Amazon Marketplace. I'll second that suggestion.
