I tried the link for PCs but Windows says it doesn't understand TML files and I sure the heck don't either.
Thanks for the video but it only shows using mnemosyne and not the step by step actual making of the cards --especially the three dim. ones with sound. I tried making a card and I put in a Q and than an A then I had a choice preview or exit I obviously chose preview but then I after I previewed and chose ok I was then back on the same screen i.e. preview or exit and so I chose exit. They then asked if I really wanted to abandon the question, well I didn't want to 'abandon' it I just wanted to save it and make the next card but nonetheless I chose to abandon it because I did not want to preview it again. And then I do not know what happened to the card---- a screen cast of MAKING the cards would be nice. Next regarding the distinction you made-namely: "I think you are confusing a web-based tool such as quia.com and a piece of software installed in your computer. " I am still not sure that I understand your distinction but my next question would be why couldn't mnemosyne be a web-based tool? Isn't it in the whole community's interest for this to be very user friendly? Thanks for your help.
