Heard Merlin talking about Mind...

Submitted by Jason (not verified) on September 26, 2006 - 7:18am.

Heard Merlin talking about Mind Mapping on MacBreak, and thought I’d check out the thread. Looking forward to the promised posting on using OmniGraffle. After hearing that, I quickly realized that this kind of outlining is only available in the Professional version (4.0), not the lite version (3.0) that came pre-installed on my PowerBook. I decided to upgrade and Mann am I glad I did! Mind Mapping with OmniGraffle Pro is easier than I expected. I can change the relationship between objects either graphically, by moving anchor points, or textually, by indenting and outdenting. Don’t think you can do that in the lite version. Neat!
