Maybe he's just not that good with computers? If computing were easy, I'd go looking for something different to do. On the other hand, I do love it when there's a device / OS / application that just works well and is easy enough for someone like my mum to just "get it".

You might be right, but my concept of mind maps (and I shamelessly copied the wording from Wikipedia) is that a mind map "is based on radial hierarchies and tree structures denoting relationships with a central governing concept". You might be thinking of a Concept Map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept_mapping

Mindmap? Its a nice idea, but Mindmaps are really a hierarchy and datacentres aren't really. Lets say you started with your Datacentre in the middle and you had a bunch of branches for the racks and a bunch of branches for the switches. The servers in the racks need to connect to the switches as well. The model doesn't fit that well. Andr00oo
