John Inspiration and MindGenius are pretty different (although both can be called concept mapping) and will be differently suitable for different people and different applications. See Abi James' comparison at http://www.dyslexic.com/database/articles/conceptcompshort.html for more guidance as to what is appropriate and when. Which is not to deny that it's easy to stick with a preference for the one that we came across first . . . Regards Ian Litterick www.iansyst.co.uk www.dyslexic.com Support the Right to Read Campaign.
