state schools get for free. It would have a lot of features that you use
with inspiration and is effectively free ( pay about $7 for a CD) It has
the advantage of being of the familiar MS Office family. I have had a
quick look at it and we will be installing it on our network over the holidays.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

$9000 to licence our whole school with Inspiration (300 x $33 - Dept of Ed.
Software Rolling Fund). I rang the resellers here is <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>
& they say that the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>
company won't budge on site licensing (which they don't offer). Does anyone use
an alternative mind mapping software e.g. Open Source / Web-based or at
leaast more affordable?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
