Despite being an Apple fan, I hate the stupid key icons (theyвЂ™re not on the keyboard!), so IвЂ™m never quite sure what all those funky graphics means (is it Shift? Control? Alt? Option? Escape? Command? That clover thing? Ack!), so maybe I just havenвЂ™t gotten it right.

SomethingвЂ™s funky with the key-combo for inserting a call out topic.

I suspect thatвЂ™s just a bug thatвЂ™ll be ironed out.

Every now-and-then it gets stuck in a trap and stops accepting the text IвЂ™m entering: if I hit deleted, I often end up deleting a lot of bubbles, but a quick undo brings them back.

Key-board WoesДЄ quick note on the interface: the keyboard usability is great and using MindManager happens at just the right speed.

Not having used other mind mapping software extentively, IвЂ™m not sure if you could simply substitute вЂњmind mapвЂќ for вЂњMindManager.вЂќ That said, the interface for MindManager is great and I donвЂ™t really want to put in the time to try out other mind mapping applications when MindManager works just fine. With the pricing-bone out of the way, onto the more positive things > Using MindManager

If thatвЂ™s true, IвЂ™d hope thatвЂ™d mean Apple was going to bundle it sometime soon. IвЂ™m not sure of the вЂњrumor statusвЂќ of this, but someone told me that a request from Apple with financial backing was actually one of the main reasons MindJet вЂњportedвЂќ MindManager to OS X.

I hate that silly вЂњ.95/.99вЂќ pricing: you could at least do something quirky and make it. (Also: come on, just take the extra nickel from my pocket and round those numbers up. I actually purchased a copy of the previous version of OmniGraffle for the JAAS book and it was worth it. Obviously, I think $150 is too much, but itвЂ™s just barely too much. OmniOutliner ranges from $39.95 to $99.95 while the drollingly awesome OmniGraffle ranges from $79.95 to $149.95. Both of them are fantastic examples of OS X applications: best of breed, damn handsome, and affordable. Their outliner and diagramer are bundled with OS X. OmniPricingДЄs a comparison, letвЂ™s look at the OmniGroup.

Working on your own desktop with only PDF and image export is not. Now, that sort of setup would be worth hundreds of dollars: realtime, graphical collaboration, with вЂњzero installвЂќ (Flash, AJAX, etc.) is incredibly valuable at the moment. That is, it works on all platforms unlike that WebEx. IвЂ™d rather have had all of us work on the same mind map in realtime, ideally through something akin to the Breeze interface. I, of course, was using MindManager to keep notes myself. ItвЂ™s like a clunky virtual white-board that uses a keyboard instead of a mouse. Steve, writely fan that he is, immediately started using writely for real-time, multi-user note taking. What do I mean by вЂњreal-time, collaborativeвЂќ? Technological analogs would be how RedMonk uses for real-time note taking or how I understand people use SubEthaEdit (only $35 >).ДЇor example, Steve, James, and I started working with one of our clients this morning on what will be a longer collaborative effort. My suggestion is this: drop the price for the stand-alone version to $50 and create a real-time, collaborative version and charge the big bucks for that. We can talk all day about quantifying the value I get out of it, but ROI approaches to software pricing barely work in the enterprise, and I donвЂ™t believe they work for consumer sales at all. I realize MindJet needs to make money and that their product is great, but software that costs more than even $50 starts to seem pricey to me now-a-days.

The Windows version is $229 to $349, depending on how pro you want to go. In short, I use mind-maps and, thus, MindManager daily, usually several times.

I love using it and itвЂ™s a boon to my professional life: see most of the maps in flickr and those in my blog as examples.

MindJet graciously gave me a copy of MindManager 6 Mac for free, and IвЂ™m incredibly grateful for that. LetвЂ™s start with the most critical point first. The Bieber beat beat me to the punch with an excellent review of why mind maps are so fantastic for note taking, so IвЂ™ll try not to re-hash that too much. I am forever asiding that IвЂ™ll write a more in-depth review of MindManager.
