Hi Alexander

I didn’t control my CRIMP, and did also buy Mindview 3 Business Edition. For me it now represents the best of all Mind Mapping tools for getting my INITIAL thinking clear around goals, actions, scheduling & priorities - its got a terrific UI - mind maps just seem much more “grokkable” in Mindview than they do in competing products.

And then AMODE is my current contender for managing all the actions and associated info (web pages, documents, notes) over time. Actually, another thought just occurred re AMODE functionality - it would be really great if they enabled drag and drop from Outlook (Email/Calendar/Tasks) - or provided a toolbar button in Outlook to export to AMODE, like MindManager does.

Regarding Stratovista, I bought it and tried it - really great ideas/intentions, very poorly implemented imho, at this point anyway (well, that was several months ago now). Though the developer is very trustworthy and has super integrity. There were some bugs I couldn’t live with at the time, and he promptly returned my money.

Cheers, Ian
