What is Self Improvement Software — Mindware
“Mindware” is a term I coined back in 1988 to describe software that I had been collecting while I was finishing my doctorate in Psychology. Actually, just when I was going to write my dissertation, I decided to start a small “side-business” called the Mindware catalog. The 32 page color catalog grew from a circulation of 5000 for issue mailed out in the spring of ‘88 to 500,000 mailed in the summer of 1994 — our last issue.
This is an excerpt from the “Letter from the President” from that second Mindware catalog.
“Welcome to Mindware! An extra dimension has been added to your personal computer with the arrival of a new genre of software we call mind appliances. These mind appliances cover many areas but share a common purpose: the enhancement of human intelligence in all its aspects — and so our name became, “Mindware.”
Mindware was conceived and created to be more than a business in the normal sense. We sincerely believe that anyone can benefit from this new relationship between computers and the mind!
That was the beginning of my interest in self improvement software and since that time, I’ve used and reviewed just about all of the self-improvmeent mindware that has been developed.
