Here is how my introductory letter on page two of the catalog began. The catalog was mailed exactly 15 years ago from the day this is sent -- April 30th, 1989. The world of personal computers is witnessing the arrival of a new genre of software-software vastly different from the familiar word processors, spreadsheets, databases and games. We call these new programs "mindware" instead of crunching numbers or crafting words, these "mind-appliances" help us to think better, feel better and be more creative. In the rest of the letter, I gave people a "tour" of the catalog and its products. The titles included The Idea Generator from Experience- In-Software, The Lucher Profile from Mindscape and a repackaged version of Mind Prober (which later became Mindviewer)_called Dr. Shrink from Neurolytic Systems. I then concluded by saying Mindware was conceived and created to be more than just a business we sincerely believe that all of us can benefit from a synthesis of psychology and technology. It is our goal to serve as the central source for these revolutionary mind-appliances-to put the transformational technologies of mindware to work for you! The fifteen-year road from the beginning of our mission has been filled with unexpected twists and turns. The catalog grew in popularity as the computer industry changed rapidly according to Moore's Law. As the speed of the processor increased by double every eighteen months, so did software improve in its interface and power. From April 1988 when we published the first Mindware Catalog, to July 1994 when the last paper catalog was printed-and we made decision to take the Mindware catalog online-we published ten catalogs. The last catalog, a full-size color thirty-two-page catalog, had ten times the number of products as the first, and we printed and mailed a half million catalogs total. Postage was real expensive that year. We were one of the first companies to embrace the Internet wave but, unlike others, we survived when the wave broke on the shore of financial reason. Unlike other catalogs, we chose to remain small, not a lot of investment capital and popping like a balloon.Instead we chose the path of growing organically, letting the technology lead us rather than the other way around. We became the Mind Media Life- Enhancement Network with our goal to be the conduit for the ever- expanding number of products and services for self-improvement and personal development. We were excited when applications that ran on the web began to supplement the larger number of programs that had been developed to be installed on your machine at home. They offer us the ability to transcend the Tower of Babel split between computers that run on Windows, that run on Macintosh, and those that run on Linux and many others platforms too numerous to mention. In this way, we can launch a product for all of you at the same time rather than have to develop a different version for each computer.
