This is excellent news:
a) I already use Freemind
b) MindMeister is
b1) Only free for 3 mindmaps! Must be somebody's idea of a joke. Business use is $6 per month and Premium is $39 per user per year!
b2) Server-based. No matter how innocent my notes, and no matter how good the encryption, I want my stuff local until *I* choose to collaborate with s.o.

So please could you supply details about where to get what version of Java, and which Freemind kit (I'm assuming real graphical Freemind, not Pocket freemind, correct?)

Thanks in advance!
