Update: I have clarification from Mindjet concerning the licensing for MindManager. You can only use MM on a single computer by a single user for each license purchased.

Todd, I have checked the EULA for MindManager and it appears they do NOT allow using it on both a desktop and notebook (or Tablet) on a single license. I have contacted Mindjet about that and will update here when I hear back.

Todd, thanks for the kind words. Here’s my take on your questions:

1. I have a 60 GB HDD on the HP which is plenty for me. I have it loaded with just about every piece of s/w a body can install and with 15 GB of music files and podcasts I still have about 20 GB free. I don’t have digital movies or this would be different but if I reach a point where HDD space is a problem I would use an external USB 2.0 HDD which is now available in a portable format up to 100 GB.

2. I have looked at Mindmapper in the past but don’t have any real experience using it. MindManager is one of the best programs I have used on the Tablet and I can’t imagine using something else. Mindjet has done such an excellent job with the ink optimizations that it is actually fun to use the program.

3. I’m not sure about MindManager but most developers allow you to install a program on both a desktop and a laptop with one license. I’ll see if I can find out from Mindjet and post back here.

Enjoyed the podcast describing your workflow technology and thank you for it. I have three questions. Number 1)I don’t recall you mentioning disk space issues on the tablet, even when you described the docking rig you have. What about music and images and audiobooks. 40, 60, 80 gb disk size is too small. How do you deal with it … external drives or some have mentioned moving things off the system, but seems like a pain. Number 2) With regard to Mindmanager, do you have an opinion as to how it compares with Mindmapper. From what I can see Mindmanager is more expensive, but seems to have more capability, but are they worth the extra $$. Number 3) I guess I would have to buy two copies of either, one for laptop and one for desktop, right. So cost is issue.

p.s. don’t have tablet yet, but watching it with great interest – concerned about disk space.

The part where you proved that the contractor was wrong was classic. To be a fly on the wall in that meeting…I wish I could have seen the look on his face when he heard the recording. :)

Great podcast! It really has given me great insight about how to introduce my forthcoming tablet into my workday.
