Yorumun icin tesekkurler. Benim bildigim PersonalBrain'i kullanan ilk sef sensin, ama tarifleri organize etmek icin faydali olabilecegini acik bir sekilde goruyorum. Aslinda PersonalBrain icinde "export> site brain"e giderek bir web sayfasi olusturabilirsin. Dilerim e-mailim yardimci olmustur. Iyi gunler, Marcus Mximilian,

Merhaba. Yorumun icin tesekkurler. Benim bildigim PersonalBrain’i kullanan ilk sef sensin, ama tarifleri organize etmek icin faydali olabilecegini acik bir sekilde goruyorum. Aslinda PersonalBrain icinde “export> site brain”e giderek bir web sayfasi olusturabilirsin. Dilerim e-mailim yardimci olmustur.

Iyi gunler,

Since approx. 15 Years I am using Mindmapping as my main tool at my Business. Not realy common for Chefs to use such a technic, however it worked well and now its the time to create my own Hompage. I would like to buildup my Hompage like a Mindmapp, which program you would recommend are there such pages in the net. I would be very pleased if you could write me a E Mail. Ones more thank you!!! Best regards from Istanbul Turkey Hi Mike

The whole folder with attachments and all is about 500mb, the database itself is around 25mb. It runs perfectly well, just as fast as it did when I started using it.

Some people said they've been using PB for years even 10+ year, and have about 60,000 items in PB. May I ask you how big is you PB file and how many item you've saved in PB? I am just wondering whether PB becomes slow in such situation. If PB is capable to maintain so much infomation, I would like to store all my infomation including into it. Look forward to your reply. Thx. Hi, I’m new to PB and totally captivated. Some people said they’ve been using PB for years even 10+ year, and have about 60,000 items in PB.

It'd not ideal...but it's something. I'd absolutely love it if it would work on the iPhone... I still use PersonalBrain daily but I think I'd use it even more if I could do it on the go.

Thanks for that! :) However, the link you posted to Jerry's Brain isn't really correct (click on it and you'll see the problem). You need to use <a href="http://sociate.thebrain.com/brainekp/open.jsp" rel="nofollow">this link </a>in order to gain access to Jerry's Brain. And now to embark on the epic task of digitizing my brain. 0.0 Hi Marcus,

The focus is solely on entering data and creating the relationships. You've got a couple options for viewing it in different ways but on the whole, where to put things isn't a distraction at all. I still use FreeMind for some things - for example for starting projects and brainstorming. I find in those cases it's better to be able to see the whole mindmap at once and a lot of those ideas aren't really related to anything else (e.g. who's the project manager on a 3 month project isn't really relevant to the rest of my life). I turn to Personal Brain for anything that has long-term relevance. Someday I would like to give TinderBox more time, but right now I think I feel the same way you do about it...it's probably the price that repels me. Personal Brain has a functional free version where as with TinderBox I'd really have to be able to justify dropping over $200 on it to make it worth considering (that's more than OS X costs!).
