These maps will be in the Mindjet Newsletter to thousands of mind mappers and [...]

The people at MindJet are THE BEST and gave me a copy of MindManager 6 as a thank you for supporting them with our site, and I have been having soooo much fun with it. I’ve always been interested in the software, but the $129 (is that right?) for the academic version was just too [...]
