Thanks Franz - my impression though was that the photocopied manual people keep talking about is something else still, something a lot more substantial (an actual book). It’s a shame if it only exists in photocopied form in this day an age of scanners and PDFs, especially if it’s really such a major contribution to this world of outlining and brainstorming…

The MaxThink manual is 8 1/2 x 11, spiral bound and printed (not poor photocopy). The manual is 1/2 inch thick. Neil numbered the pages as Chapter# - Page# so I can’t tell you how many pages (one of these days I might count the pages). I forget where I read this but supposedly Neil doesn’t have a copy of the manual (unconfirmed). Scanning and converting this manual to PDF would be a monumental task, not to mention that the manual carries Neil’s copyright.
With all the things I’ve had and lost over the years, I’m amazed that I still have that manual. I’ve often wondered what would have happened had Neil collaborated with David Tebbutt (creator of BrainStorm). Alas, the windows version of MaxThink is terrible and David & Marck sold BrainStorm to someone who is sitting on it instead of developing it further.

John, thanks for the clarification.

FWIW, the (apparent) maxthink website http://www.maxthink.org is flagged by Bitdefender as infected.
