LEARNING ABOUT THINKTANK

Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION TO THINKTANK

ThinkTank (tm) is a visual tool for working with ideas and information on your personal computer. The ThinkTank program uses the familiar format of an outline to help you generate, organize, store, and retrieve ideas with remarkable ease and efficiency. It is the first idea processor.

ThinkTank is flexible; you can apply it in many ways. It can serve as your:

*notebook

*address book

*appointment calendar

*card file

*file folder

*file cabinet

*secretary

*administrative assistant

*bulletin board

Because ThinkTank is electronic, you can examine, add, alter, reorganize, print, or delete your information in seconds.

ThinkTank’s flexibility means that you can adapt it to your needs and applications. You can choose what kind of in— formation to store in ThinkTank and how to organize it. You can use it to write a memo, store a customer list, look up a telephone number, organize a report, record a family tree, or catalogue a stamp-collection. Box 1—1, which lists representative uses of ThinkTank, contains just a fraction of its many applications. ThinkTank is like having an administrative genie at your beck and call.
