I have to say that I love this app; it’s simple enough to use and add/create content to make the topic of Fire Department Emergency Communications go from bland to exciting. In just a couple of days I was able to take existing content and structure and develop out two complete chapters. My staff saw it today for the first time and were blown away.

I think this will be a very useful tool for those of us desiring to develop free content for the sake of the greater good, and I can definitely see the positive implications for students and teachers and of course less use of paper and more exciting instruction/learning. I simply love this app, and again, I’m astounded at how easy and creative one can be with all of the widgets and features built in to it.

Call me a Luddite for wishing it worked on the OS most mac owners continue to use? It is not like I’m asking for it to run on my original 512k Mac. It’s only one step back to Snow Leopard. What features does it have that make it a Lion only App?

It sounded so great. Unfortunately it only works with Lion. Umm, no thanks, Apple.
