"My students love it and start using it for their other courses as well"

Dear NovaMind,

I have been using NovaMind for 3+ years now and it is my Swiss Army knife. I plan projects, write book chapters, create presentations, and develop courses and workshops with it.

I teach mind mapping in my courses and have had the department license NovaMind for the lab I teach in. My students love it and start using it for their other courses as well. I also teach staff and faculty workshops on mind mapping and the PC users have always been envious of NovaMind (but not for long now...).

Because of my mind mapping evangelism on campus, I have to keep on top of what is out there. That means testing every thing that comes down the pike. No other app has even come close to stealing my heart. The new features of version three have me drooling.

I stumbled across the demo version of Merlin, downloaded the trial, imported one of my NovaMind maps and instantly HAD TO HAVE IT. Thanks for teaming with ProjectWizards and thank you for my truly favorite application. I just can't live without NovaMind... and now... Merlin...

Warmest regards,

"NovaMind is one of my core applications"

Very natural. I am using NovaMind even more than I expected. I use a lot of different applications in consulting. NovaMind is one of the core.
