Well, you did get the news out of Neil that he’s planning on “moving on.” That’s too bad, but not surprising. MaxThink for Windows has lots of promise, but really isn’t well designed for making the user feel comfortable with the interface. What it does is great, even genuinely unique; how it does it is not. It would be nice to know that Neil is working to make it better, but I don’t imagine he’s raking in much money and he must have better ways to spend his efforts.

Been lurking and enjoying the posts. I discovered MaxThink way back in the 1980s and used it for years. I still have Max94 including the printed manual which is a good book on it’s own. OK John, get to the point. According to the manual, Neil was in his mid-fifties in 1994. That means that Neil is in his mid seventies now.

I keep hearing about this printed manual and would love to have a look. Is there a way to get hold of it as a PDF somewhere?

The demo contains a help file in CHM format but no PDF.
What I find helpful is the 50 question list in the think.max file that you can open after installing Maxthink.

Ah, the 50 question list is part of the help file, too.
And the help file makes a pretty good read - now I know what to read on the weekend.
Thanks for asking, Dr. Andus. Otherwise, this treasure chest would have escaped me :-)
