Compendium is a tool for mind maps
Compendium is another interesting tool for making mind maps and managing knowledge. It is published under the free LGPL license which gives the user considerable freedoms in regard of the source code.
Compendium can be used to visually represent ideas and arguments. The creation of “issue maps” represent the existing relations between issues and questions. In this way, it facilitates the understanding of inter-connected topics. Compendium can well be used by a group of people who collaborate together in order to solve a problem.

Opera is another great free web browser. Like Firefox, it is available for all the most important operating systems. The latest version is 9.5. In addition, there is Opera Mini for smartphones and PDA's. Unfortunately, I have none of those new gadgets and have not been able to test Opera web browser with these geek toys.
Like Firefox, Opera regards your online security important. It is safer than IE, so you should seriously consider using it, not IE.
