Richard Stefan Lurye, Attorney
at Law, Maryland DWI and Criminal Defense Central
" This is a magnificent lawyer's brainstorming tool -- an idea
thesaurus of associations on steroids. This program will make you a more effective and
persuasive communicator. The program's uses are limited only by your own imagination. Plug
in a word or phrase and the program explodes with associations that can help you to
persuade juries, judges, witnesses and adversaries. Perhaps even more valuable, the
associations will help you develop viable alternative case theories which you may never
have discovered."

John Lilly, The Kleper Report
on Digital Publishing
"IdeaFisher is one of those programs that you don't know you
need until you see what it can do. All in all, IdeaFisher is a creative, fluid way to
creative blockbusting and very useful."

come to appreciate all the hard work you have put into this project. I was sold on the
idea from the first time it was presented to me and have been a loyal user ever
since."

Peter H. Lewis, The New York
Times
"In just a few minutes this program has offered
hundreds of thoughts that might have taken a roomful of people hours or days to
assemble." "...IdeaFisher is an engine of facts that are, out of context,
relatively meaningless. Touched by the spark of human creativity, however, new ideas
spring to life."
Bill Machrone, PC Magazine
"Imagine a brainstorming partner who never gets tired.
Who has encyclopedic knowledge of world events, news items, people and places. Who never
laughs at your ideas. Who doesn't look askance at some of the associations you make. Who
can learn from you. That's IdeaFisher."
Scott DeGamo, Success
Magazine
"Our first mention of the program was by our software reviewer
Norman Dolph, an electrical engineer and expert systems developer from Yale, who called it
'awesome' and recommended it not only for business problem but cosmic ones. Since then,
numerous SUCCESS readers have written to tell us they have used it for everything from
naming new products to writing speeches."
Cynthia Harriman, MacWEEK
"Managers can scour the program for inspiration on the
latest company reorganization. Poets can use the program to combat writer's block.
Marketing directors can turn to it for new product ideas. Copywriters can fire it up for
help with a catchy slogan. Almost anyone who's called upon to generate and develop ideas
can make use of IdeaFisher."

Edward C. Baig, Fortune
"IdeaFisher, an ambitious computer program, is a kind
of brainstorming thesaurus from [IdeaFisher Systems, Inc.]. You get databases with [6,000]
questions and more than 700,000 idea words and phrases. If you want to design a new
automotive product, link the words 'seat' and 'comfort' and let the program associate
'comfort' with 'air bed.' Eureka! Air-filled seat covers."

Susan Gelfond, Business Week
"Need a Brainstorming Partner? Try your PC. Creative
thinking relies on such free association, or brainstorming. Now your PC can help using a
new software package called IdeaFisher."

Suzanne Stefanac, Macworld
"The fecundity of the program provides rich loam for
brainstorming and there will be those who are able to coax million-dollar ideas from its
thousands of clever synonyms."
Jon Zilber, MacUser
"IdeaFisher is a real triumph of substance over style."
"4 Mice"
Richard O. Mann, PC Today
"The IdeaFisher ideabase is inexhaustible. This article
has taken me way too long to write. Each time I go to the ideabase for another example, I
see hundreds of fascinating trails to follow. If you regularly need the kind of boost to
memory, associations, and creativity that IdeaFisher provides, there's just no
alternative. You need this program."
Craig Crossman, USA Today
"Endless late-night brainstorming sessions have
produced nothing. That's where IdeaFisher comes in."
http://www.usatoday.com/
Skye Lininger, Personal
Publishing
"IdeaFisher, available for both the Macintosh and IBM
PC and compatibles, organizes ideas so that managers, copywriters, small-business owners,
marketing directors, and poets can have ever-more productive brainstorming
sessions..." "It's positively addicting to bounce from one idea to the next,
making connections that never would have occurred otherwise. If you've ever had to
generate ideas for any type of project, you won't want to do it without IdeaFisher.
Whenever I'm stuck for ideas, I go fishing."
Amy Saltzman & Edward
Baig, U.
S. News & World Report
"Once creativity was inspired by mountaintops, seedy cafes
and, if all else failed, deadline-induced panic." "Think what Shakespeare,
Edison and Picasso might have accomplished with... computer software like IdeaFisher to
spur them on."
Ronald John Donovan, Writer's
Digest
"Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this program is
that it's not finished yet. In fact, it will never be finished. It's designed so that you
can furnish your own ideas and associations. You can add your own focusing questions and
your own lifetime of experience to the already vast database every time you use the
program through simple menu selections. The collections and the associations become more
and more like that vast storehouse of your own brain. This is how software should work: it
should learn from you and then reward you for what you've taught it."
