BTW sometimes ago my wife offered me Lao-tseu "Tao-tö king" because when I knew her I spoke about something I had read a long time ago and that was always in my mind at this moment (I'm not sure it's from Lao-tseu, but it's Tao) : in french "La pluie frappe la pluie" something like "Rain drops beats rain drops". When you begin to think at such things (I mean really, like visualizing it), peace is near... Finally, I discovered OFBiz and now I have no time to read Lao-tseu anymore...

What made me discovered mind-map was a documentary film on TV about schools in Finland which are using a sort of Mind-maping for children with great results. And I like this idea of having a complete set of colored pencils and drawing circles and such progressively when ideas come... But I have no ideas :/ Wooww.. we are totally out of subject at this point, sorry dear user ML readers :o > Joking aside. I'm not knocking it. It is a very useful tool.
