Moved over to Mountain Lion

I installed ML  when it came out first, but having a Lion partition on the same drive as ML caused some problems between iTunes and syncing the iPad and iPhone. i.e. I became frustrated when I had set icons on the above devices just as I wanted them using Lion, only to find them moving all over the place when I ran iTunes on ML.

While having problems with MyFiles, a new Cloud app, I had to dodge back and forth between the two OS versions, which gave me the necessary urge to sort things out. This has taken a couple of days, and no doubt there will be other apps which need to be updated, paired, or sorted out in some way or other.

What do I think of ML vs Lion? No big change..

One app I have been using a lot more than other mindmap apps is Simplemind, which works across the iMacs, iPhone 4, iPad 3, as well as my three active Android devices. Not the sexiest UI but most impressive interconnection via Dropbox.

Changed my mapping software

Several reasons made me leave Mindnode Pro and Touch.

First, there was no Android version, and no hint of one in the future..

Secondly,, I got fed up with the OSX version. The Inspector was constantly required to correct text size, node breadth, etc. grrr!

I found SimpleMind, which works great between OSX, iPad and Nexus 7, and most important, imports the Freemind map mm format, so I have easily exported the Mindnode maps I wish to transfer and synced them via Dropbox
