Dee, I just wanted to thank you so much for your work to make GrandView available again. That software helped me write research papers and organize materials for many years and I have truly missed it. Its value comes from letting me enter many ideas, topics to cover, facts to include, etc. in whatever order comes to mind. (Almost like brainstorming.) After getting everything down, GV allows me to quickly organize topics hierarchically and come up with a logical grouping and order of presentation. Then this structure naturally becomes a series of sentences, with topics developed in the correct order. I wish my mind worked in this way to begin with, but it does not.

Your software development effort I greatly appreciate. This was clearly not a couple of hours of work and your generosity in sharing the results with the rest of the world needs to be recognized. Please know that you have significantly helped one person for certain, and surely thousands of others who were fortunate enough to be around when IBM/MS DOS was introduced and enjoyed the creative efforts required to be productive when 64K of RAM was an upgrade and applications had to be efficient and useful. (I got hooked originally on ThinkTank.)

[Now my work involves solving problems on adiabatic quantum annealing computers, where the state of the art is reminiscent of computing in the 1950s.]

Thank you again, Dee, for making life better for many of us,
D Barr
