Richard,

I would love to see a (YouTube?) video of you or Mark or someone doing the planning thing with note cards. I have never done it but it sounds like a good way to go. I too gave up flowcharting years ago for most projects, but sometimes I still run into something that demands that kind of planning.

Thanks -
Phil

I do the index card thing, sometimes just on pieces of paper, and then

haven't yet found any computer program that beats this process.

Yeah, it's funny that way, but for all the tech we're dripping with I get some of the biggest bang for the buck from 3x5 cards and a pad of graph paper. I've tried many ways to replace those with software, but nothing has yet matched the freedom to explore.
