4.0 out of 5 stars It Does MindManager Justice, April 24, 2004

This review is from: MindManager For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

This was the first "For Dummies" book that I felt was worth the cost. I didn't read it cover to cover straight, but I have now touched on all the chapters in the order I needed. Although I have been a MM user since way back, MindManager X5 has some very nifty enhancements. I didn't upgrade from MM2002 until I got the book and then I just let loose.

If you're new to MindManager, this will get you started and give you some neat tips. If you're a regular user, I would get this book when you upgrade to X5. There have been enough changes in procedures and nomenclature that it just won't work with previous versions of MindManager.

If you are having trouble learning or using MindManager, study this book!

Without this book, I would not be nearly as productive using MindManager.
