Kyle McFarlin's Top 10 Mapping Shortcut Tips (MindManager & ResultsManager)
First off I applaud Kyle for taking the time to transcribe and share his tips with all of us. His list reminds me of just how simple and effective a plain linear list can be sometimes. You really don't have to mind map everything in your life in order to tap into that hidden cavern of creative power. However mind mapping does help in many situations and with these tips in hand you'll be well on your way to becoming a mind mapping expert!
In addition to his list I use the simple but sometimes forgotten about keys for adding more topicsEnter : for a new topic
Insert: for a new subtopic
And these keys for moving around my many open maps!Ctrl + Home: brings you back to the center topic
Ctrl + Tab: Allows you to navigate one map tab to the right (assuming you have multiple maps/tabs open)
Ctrl + Shift + Tab: Allows you to navigate one map tab to the left ( I usually hold ctrl with my left hand, shift with the right and hit the tab key each time I want to move)
Kyle mentioned the Alt E+Y combo for editing a resultsmanager Activity and just want to emphasize that key again as I use it ALL the time every single day since ResultsManager plays a central role in creating my GTD list every morning.
Also don't forget about all the other shortcuts listed in the MindManager help section!

Motion Computing announces the C5 Clinical Assistant Tablet PC
Tablet PC + Medical/Pharmaceutical Industry = a very happy Jason!
Tablet PCs are no stranger to the medical world and it's these vertical markets that have allowed Tablet PCs to continue fighting in the shadows for so long before making their appearance into the mainsteam. Although a tablet is nothing new, a properly developed device specifically tailored to those is the medical profession is a concept that has needed some extra attention for quite some time now. Why these devices have not been implemented into the medical scene as quickly as I would like probably has to due with many factors including financial and budget requirements but it just makes too much sense not to have Tablet PCs in this industry!
Strictly speaking from the business side of things, the cost effectiveness and possible increase in efficiency Tablet PCs could provide are factors that just can't be ignored. Quite frankly I am surprised that so many hospitals still rely heavily on paper. Incorporating my own experience in a pharmacy has also led to the development of a vision where scripts become digitalized and are sent immediately to the patent's pharmacist of choice with the click of a button.
But enough rambling about Tablet PCs and the medical industry for now! (I have midterms to study for after all) Check out what Motion Computing has in store for all you future practitioners, nurses, PAs, and PTs (to just name a few)!

Lenovo shows Windows Mobile 6 offerings
As a huge supporter of Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad notebooks and Tablet PCs I find it interesting that they are now moving into the cell phone market. It seems an explosion of devices are now coming to life (iphone anyone?) and a new market has taken shape. Our dependence on these devices extends far past what use to be just a simple phone. Today we increasingly become tethered to our phones as their abilities and use as music players, organizes and mobile im units continually increase our fixation on them.
I am still enjoying my Cingular 8525 relationship and If I find the time, I still plan to share my thoughts on how it has changed the way I get things done.

Jason,
I didn't know about Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab: Excellent!
Always great to learn new things: I mean, I was perfect and always knew everything (cheshire cat grin).
