"The Brain"

Folks who have followed my thoughts for any length of time know that Gudrun and I are really excited to study and follow threads on getting "stuff" (facts, thoughts, etc) firmly rooted in the organic computer we call the brain.

Gudrun found a software entry in the category known as 'mind mapping'. This is not some voodoo trick. It has been around a while, just not really well known.

What makes this entry unique is the 'Personal Edition' is really free, not trialware. Sure its limited in the fact that you cannot tie a base thought to files on you drive. That takes the version that is $150. USD. And yes, multi-user versions have a higher price tag.

The part that got my attention is they offer Windows, OS X and Linux versions.

While the Personal Version (free) is limited to connecting web sites, anyone preparing to study in a particular area of study is probably searching the Internet. The first glance at this offering suggests it would be much more intuitive than bookmarks on the subject.

Maybe you want to give this method a shot. Check out the Personal Version of The Brain from http://www.TheBrain.com

If you have given it a try, please offer your thoughts here. Thanks. And thank you Gudrun for this great find.
