Mind Media Review

Bruce Ehrlich - EditorMind Media Review's Colorful New Format


For the last several months, we have been upgrading Mind Media Life Enhancement Network one section at a time. If you haven't visited the site in the while, I suggest you do so because there are a lot of changes. Our goal: to make Mind Media the portal people go to first to find tools for personal and professional success.

I was lucky to find a new web programming guru who has accelerated this process tremendously. In the last issue, I told you to take a look at our "yahoo-like" Mind Media Guide to the Web. Well I think you saw that things had indeed improved and now this is the premier index to the sites in the self-improvement and personal development area, fully searchable and growing every day.

As many of you know, May marked the 14th Anniversary of the first Mindware Catalog. We offered you a special sale on Mind Prober and our Super Saver Bundle. You liked it so much, it was hard keeping up with the orders, printing new manuals and getting them out fast enough.

In this issue, I'd like to extend that sale to another of our most popular bundles, The SuperStar Suite from Virtual Knowledge. More on that in this issue. 5 Multimedia CD-ROMS for the lowest price we have ever offered

He also has changed the way the Mind Media Review is both published and delivered to you. This is our last issue that will be "text only" and I'll talk about that too.

Thank you for your support during these 14 years of doing business and we hope that find our site will feel more and more like your personal home for success in life.

WE INTRODUCE THE BEST OF MIND MEDIA REVIEW IN OUR COLORFUL NEW FORMAT by Bruce Ehrlich

When I wrote the Mind Prober Story for the 14th Anniversary Issue, I was anticipating that we would have our capability to deliver the Mind Media Review in HTML format. As I mentioned then, the Mind Media Review is one of the first hundred email "zines" as they called and has published 48 issues in 6 years... We have mailed them through the years to our growing customer list as well as those who download free software or request to be added - unlike other newsletters which find your way to your mailbox without knowing how it got there.

Well we're on what is called a Lyris Listserver which makes it easy to subscribe and unsubscribe as you may have noticed. You can sign up for the list here.

I wrote the Mind Prober Story with colorful illustrations, as later portions of this 'Ezinee will become part of my new book about the History and Future of Mindware. So the same program that allows you to get the newsletters as html lets you see what the May issue looked like when I wrote it, complete with colorful illustration which help tell the story better. Check it out!

While we are at it, revised the entire Mind Media Review Section, removing issues that were no longer timely and adding the best of all of the 48 issues we have published. In there, you will find links to free online tests, the best online web apps, software reviews, essays on the history and future of mindware and more. I invite you to enjoy this new content which will now be continually updated.


WE CELEBRATE THE 14TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MINDWARE CATALOG WITH OUR VIRTUAL KNOWLEDGE SALES

Dear Friends, There's great news here for at Mind Media! We now can offer you a selection of the best self-improvement and personal development software ever made. These are the kind of programs that I could only dream about when I founded the Mindware Catalog ten years ago.

It's hard to believe, but the years have flown by since I first had the vision of the personal computer making people happier, more intelligent, more creative and successful. It made sense that computers, with their ability to interact with the user and present information in a customized way would be superior to any audio tape or book. And as a psychologist and early personal computer user (I was using my first one in 1981 and was online in 1982), I had collected psychology and self-help software from every source I could find.

So through 1988, I gathered the best personal development and self- improvement software available and in November of that year, I put the best of those programs on the colorful pages of the Mindware Catalog. The Mindware Catalog was an instant winner because those of you who are past customers (you now number in the hundreds of thousands) shared my belief in the superiority of interactive self- improvement software.

In those day early days when I started the catalog, computer programs used low-resolution graphics and a tiny speaker to supplement plain old blocks of text. Those early programs were interactive and therefore were more useful than books, but they only hinted at the promise of what was to come.

Fourteen years later, I am proud to announce to you -- my valued customers and friends -- that the dream I had back then is finally a reality! Because most of us now have access to multimedia computers with fantastic sound and great graphics, powerful processors and CD- ROM drives, we are able to bring you a new generation of software that delivers on all of the promise I felt back then. The exploding power of the personal computer and the Internet has brought Mindware technology into 21st Century and we promise it will improve your life in ways you never thought possible!

Mind Media, the software publishing company that brought hundreds of thousands of Mindware customers the best software from the Mindware Catalog has teamed up with Virtual Knowledge to bring you five of the best multimedia CD-ROMs in the Mindware tradition.

WE CALL THESE FIVE CD-ROMS THE SUPERSTAR SUITE!

The Superstar Suite spotlights the five self-improvement topics you have shown the most interest in. And with these multimedia software programs, you'll experience new levels of depth and pure user friendliness.

MORE SIMPLY PUT -- THE SUPERSTAR SUITE IS THE BEST SELF-IMPROVEMENT SOFTWARE I'VE EVER USED.

This is breakthrough technology to get you on the inside track toward realizing your potential, the highest calling of the computer revolution to date. The Superstar Suite has all the bells and whistles. At the same time these programs are grounded in deep research, not on trendy techniques which come and go over time. Here are some of the state-of-the-art features that make the Superstar Suite so compelling to someone like you:

  • THE RICH CONTENT IS TASTEFULLY PRESENTED WITH HIGH QUALITY MUSIC, NATURAL SPEECH, VIDEO CLIPS, AND INTERACTIVE TUTORIALS.
  • Tests are designed by top professionals in the world.
  • New randomization technology lets you use the software as much as you want and never get the same test twice.
  • Results are presented with colorful, eye-catching graphics and charts, explained in a natural voice -- and can be printed.
  • Powerful techniques help change and improve dramatically as well as test your abilities.

Take a look at the selection of products in the enclosed brochure. Imagine the difference they can begin to make in your life.

They are creators of the market-leading Sylvan Education software for assessing the progress of our nation's students and WORLD LEADER in testing and assessment products.

Newsweek magazine reviewed this multimedia series, and advised their readers: 'If you're wondering whether you have what it takes to succeed, help is here!'

So here's the special deal I mentioned earlier. You can choose any of the titles in the Superstar Suite for the special low, low price of $29.95 each. All I want is for you to give these amazing programs a try!

Want the entire Superstar Suite? We will speed to you by air the entire Superstar Suite, five CD-ROMS, shrink-wrapped in their jewel cases, for just $69.95. That's just about $14 for each unique program, only 23% of suggested retail price -- a savings of $229.80 off what you'd pay in stores!

Because of the low, low prices we've arranged for our special customers, we can only hold this offer open until August 15, 2002. We've created a special portion of our web site with more product details and color screen shots from each CD-ROM. Just go to the Multimedia Self-Imrovement Page here here for more information or to order.

Act now and have any or all of the CD-ROMs on their way to your home or business today.

For you, our customers and friends, this 'Fourteenth Anniversary is our reward for believing in our vision.

Thank You!

Bruce Ehrlich President
