    Thanks for the review. I tried it out but was disappointed to see that not much could be done with the free version. Back to Google diagrams.

    Very good Chuck.
    I recall Michael Scherotter (formerly of Mindjet) the Silverlight evangelist at Microsoft saying:We'll soon be able to create our own customizable applications that suit our specific diagramming needs. I agree with Michael, and the software example you presented, while very basic is an excellent example of the potential for the future of programming in Adobe Air and Silverlight.

    Thanks very much for the really well done video and thoughtful comments, Chuck. Since you made your video, SimpleDiagrams has returned to it's pre-holiday price of $19. However, your readers might be interested to know that they can still get the special $15 price by using the following coupon when checking out on FastSpring: GIMMEDEAL

    I look forward to any further suggestions or comments you or your readers offer! Since I'm just one developer it sometimes takes me a bit of time to add new features, but my number one goal is to make my users pleased with usefulness of the app and delighted with the simplicity.

    Best Regards,

    Thank you, Chuck for you review and hint for using SimpleDiagrams! I was looking for a tool just like this and can't believe my luck that it exists and that there are tutorials available for it. Also, thanks Developer Daniel for the discount code. I'm purchasing the product in a few moments and appreciate the extra $5 off.

    Many thanks!
