Graham: Yes I intend to try to do something like that. Right now it’s just a collection of blog posts I’ve written. Synthesizing something like this down to a clear exposition for beginners is more challenging that it looks, particularly for someone who’s an expert and has never taught anyone.
Also, a correction: MaxThink DOES offer dual pane mode. Its only downside that I see now is the lack of undo. I’m installing it to try now.
Wow the MaxThink website is annoying.

OK, apparently the description on the maxthink thread was wrong, it cannot do dual pane, it can only de-hoist. So it’s still a second best option, plus the lack of undo hurts.

I tried to install Maxthink but always ended up with MemoMaster trying to install itself. I got rid of MemoMaster and still ended up with it trying to install itself. Perhaps a system reboot will deal with that.
And yes, JB, the Maxthink site is probably one of the most annoying in existence. It is dated, hasn’t been substantively changed for years, and gives little if any reason to have confidence in the program.

1. MaxThink was a viable alterntive in DOS days. Neil Larson apparently had a difficult time converting it to Windows (or at least to Win 2000 and later). If I recall correctly, he also did not follow standard Widows conventions. In his defense, I should point out that attempts to convert GrandView to Windows failed (conversion by people other than the original author, who had moved on to other things).
I looked at MaxThink for Windows several years ago and rejected it.
2. Isn’t it time to end this thread?

MaxThink ran fine for me in Wine.
I’ve posted a new landing page for BrainStormWFO (soon to be renamed BrainStormSW).
The page goes into detailed comparisons with the major competing design archetypes - standard outliners, database outliners, research managers, mindmappers, etc.
Here’s the link: http://brainstormsw.com/outliner/best-brainstorm-software/
It’s much more comprehensible, I hope. All advanced Cyborganize concepts have been removed.
If you’re wondering about the introduction, that’s because it’s targeted for “brainstorm software” search query visitors.
Feedback appreciated!
