Hi,
Does anyone know which program I should use
to draw stuff on OSX?
I've been using paint on windows but i can't find
a similar program on my OSX panther.
I have a eMac, 1GB with 512ram

Is there any built in program?
Because I can't install stuff, it's on a network in my office.

They should but in a controlled environment some admin jobsworth could very well have deleted it from the machines.

No:

The "pro" (Powerbook, Powermac) machines never came with it and it doesn't come with any intel based macs.

They bundle test versions of MS Office & iWork instead.
