I need to find a good word map program that is not too expensive. I'm in a zoology class, and I must memorize ridiculous amounts of informaiton about their family.genus.phyla.species- that sort of stuff. I would also like to be able to add supplemental info on the map. Any suggstions? Remember I'm a student and I'm poor. And also this is of course last minute, so being able to download it somewhere would be great.

word map?

How about OmniGraffle.

If you have a fairly recent G4 then this app came with your Mac. It's a bit buried in the software restore CD but you can dig it out by enabling invisible files, navigating to the images directory and looking for the omnigraffle app, IIRC.

You could also do this in appleworks or other WP program that has drawing included but it will not be as elegant.

OmniOutliner would also do this sort of thing quite well.

It too comes free on PowerMacs and Powerbooks, but if you don't have a copy, you can download a demo for free.

Their educational licensing is also quite moderate....

Thanks for the advice. Omnigraffle is exactly what I was thinking of. And free!
