I often turn in walking advertisement at conferences when people peer over my shoulder and ask what I&#8217;m using; the same has been true <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?q=mindmaps&amp;w=12261156%40N00&amp;s=rec\">in flikr<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/2006\/09\/15\/people-are-crazy-for-the-mind-maps\/\">on the blog here<\/a>. I&#8217;m actually happy to evangelism for them because (a.) I like the product so much, and, (b.) they&#8217;ve given me two free copies. I participated in their beta program for the just released version, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindjet.com\/us\/products\/mindmanager_7_mac\/quicktour.php\">MindManager 7 Mac<\/a>, and I&#8217;m happy to say that they&#8217;ve addressed <a href=\"http:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/2006\/09\/28\/mindmanager-6-mac-or-mind-mapping-in-general\/\">the pricing problem that I always caveat any discussion of MindManager with<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are actually 3 price levels now, if I&#8217;m reading the store listings correctly: <a href=\"http:\/\/store.mindjet.com\/store\/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Mind+Manager+Catalog&amp;category%5Fname=&amp;product%5Fid=MM7L\">$99 for a &#8220;Lite&#8221; version<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/store.mindjet.com\/store\/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Mind+Manager+Catalog&amp;category%5Fname=&amp;product%5Fid=MM7M\">$129 for the OS X version (upgrades are $69)<\/a> which is $100 less than the previous version(!), and <a href=\"http:\/\/store.mindjet.com\/store\/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Mind+Manager+Catalog&amp;category%5Fname=&amp;product%5Fid=MM7P\">$349 for the &#8220;Pro&#8221; (Windows only) version<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While $350 is still a hefty sum to pay for software, even if there&#8217;s some snazy ROI\/productivty proof you can apply, $129 is something I&#8217;d actually be begrudgingly OK with paying out of my own pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, for participating in the &#8220;early look&#8221; program for MindManager 7 I&#8217;m getting a free upgrade to the free version of MindManager 6 I have. Clearly, they&#8217;ve won me as a (non-paying) customer and I&#8217;m happy to continue co-marketing for them.<\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags start --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;font-size:10px\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/mindjet\" rel=\"tag\">mindjet<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/mindmanager\" rel=\"tag\">mindmanager<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/mindmaps\" rel=\"tag\">mindmaps<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/notes\" rel=\"tag\">notes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MindManager 7 now out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-development-tools","category-the-analyst-life"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
