Hi.. I can't remember if it was this year or last so we can pretend it
was this year that I stumbled upon the concept of "mindmapping" (mind
mapping). I just ran a quick "apt-cache search" on it and didn't see
much available when you use a single repository for Sid's packages. I
"endure"... some ongoing "circumstances" where that would have been
hugely beneficial for connecting the dots had I learned of the concept
five or six years ago.

No, I'm not using the concept this second, but FreeMind was one I did
specifically test drive a while back. Am not finding it under Sid just
this sec so not sure the where or how from the time I did download it.

Best wishes in 2017 to everyone!

Cindy :)
