It makes a difference. I'm running Windows ME at 720 mhz, maxed-out memory. Don't try CMap! It's a horror with an arrogance that's only normal at some universities (U of West Florida, in this case). It'll only run if you've got five open connections to the mother ship. When you're installing the program, it tells you that they own it; you're only a beta tester at their command, and that when they've had their way with you, you're done with the software. And that's enforced, because, remember, it won't run unless you're solidly connected to them with *five* live connections. Forget dialup (but they didn't tell you that, either). Freemind is good. It's a little klutzy because the maps are divided into two sides -- right and left. Otherwise it seems quite decent and runs sluggishly in Sun Java. Correlate is also interesting -- a slick commercial product that's free for home use. I haven't gotten into this yet. The Literary Machine looks especially good, but I had terminal problems on my system. All the other programs I tried were impossible to use. For me, this was an especially troublesome class of programs. It seems that the programmers rely on coding tools that present problems on my system. In one case, the install routine set up a nice Borland environment on my system, but I was hardly informed about this, nor that an undocumented subdirectory had been set up. And even Borland had virtually no documentation about their own application on their own web site. I'm still trying to pick the pieces of it off my system. And I used to really like Borland's stuff! I'm worn out from trying these programs. This is one of those cases in which some of the programmers haven't bothered to tell the user which operating systems the software will and won't work with, etc., etc. So there can be lots of struggling. And this can be a trying situation with some freeware. A heads-up if you're running 9x; at least this is what I experienced. But please let us know if you are successful with any of these, because I'm still interested, just worn out from the struggle. Richard

For me, this was Did you try Brainbox from Circle-of-Excellence? It might interest you. . . Also, consider a flowcharting program as an alternative. Don't know which freeware ones to recommend but there are some out there. Personally, I feel this is one class of program that doesn't lend itself to a computer. By definition, a program constrains you to rules which is contrary to the whole purpose of "free for all" brainstorming. M
