After reading about MindJet MindManager here, here and here (and many other places), I tried it out last month.
Each day since evaluating X5 Pro, it has become more and more obvious that I could not live without this software. ;-) I told my wife no less than once a day that it would make my life easier and that it fit with the way I work. This went on for 3 weeks before she finally got fed up and told me to buy it.
I knew that since my evalaution ended, I had received some emails from MindJet, so I decided to check them to see if there were any good deals before I made the purchase. Lo and behold, I found a deal: X5 Pro + X5 Mobile for $324! Cool. Armed with the promo code (code=promobile04, expires Dec. 31, 2004) from the email, I tried to place my order. I wanted X5 Pro + X5 Mobile + the 1 year support agreement. I was able to add X5 Pro + the support agreement but when I tried to enter the promo code, it added another copy of X5 Pro to my order (not what I wanted). Trying to remove the extra copy only made things worse. After trying a few things (none of which worked), I decided to fire off any email to the sales team at MindJet.
I got an email this morning from an “Inbound / Outbound Sales Manager” by the name of Erik. He said I could give him a call to discuss my exact needs. Within minutes of calling, I had my license keys and was good-to-go.
Edit: Dec 21, 2004: I had to fix the mis-spelled title.
