Mind Mapping in the Quality Arena

Wes,
You make great points based on your experience and current understanding of PC Mind mapping.
Take a look at all of the maps that I and others have posted in a Mind mapped format, choose any or all and, I can send them to a recipient as an Image, Word doc or Powerpoint presentation.
As I said previously, "PC Mind mapping is a different animal altogether".
Not for everyone yet, you just don't know what you don't know and, for those who dare to investigate and try it for themselves, they shall indeed see a new and other possibility for information creation, management and sharing.
I initially experienced Mind mapping as an amusing toy but, I came to understand the power of this amusing toy when, I arrived at the "AHA" moment and realized the power of this amazing set of tools and techniques for personal and business productivity enhancement.
Linear information structures aren't ever going away, they are invaluable to almost everyone on the planet. My enthusiasm for Mind mapping comes from the fact that the tools and techniques offered, especially by PC programs, allow users to be more creative in their information management structures. I can basicaly scatter all of my personal or business thought processes all over the PC screen, drag and drop them into a logical arrangement and, present them in a format that suits my recipients. Yeah, it's great for brainstorming and decision making yet, that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Wallace.

Don't have a lot of time right now, but I wanted to add my two cents.

I, too, thought the way Wes mentioned (how does it affect me?). Through a couple of PMs with Wallace and trying complimentary versions of both MindGenius and VisualMind software, I bought the MindGenius program. I have not stopped using it. It is a tremendous brainstorming tool, but I have a lot of my "task lists" in the software. If for no other reason than a different "tickler" methodology, it has freed up more of my time to do other things that need to get done, as well as, helped me get better organized and thus meet or beat deadlines or commitments. As I have emailed some things around here (in Word, Powerpoint - very easy conversion), my boss and some of the other managers have expressed interest and may wish to make it a "corporate tool" instead of me only having a copy (reimbusement???).

Later (and Happy New Year to all!!)
Bill
