That Al Gore setup is really awesome, specially for 2007.

Yeah, the OP links to an image of Al Gore in front of 3 displays with the caption

Climate central Gore in his Nashville home office. where he wrote his new book. Mind map software and huge Post-it notes help him order his thoughts [0]

I did some medium-searching but couldn't come up with a name for the mind mapping software Gore used.

Also interesting is how the 3 displays present in aesthetically pleasing way because they are identical (resolution, size, bezels, etc).

Purely a guess, but probably OmniGraffle back then.


Those are the 30” Apple Cinema Displays, if I’m not mistaken. I dreamed of having one of them. 3 is just preposterous


When I was in Uni I got a remote side gig developing some software. I spent my whole first paycheck on a 30" Cinema Display, replacing a rig of 3 hand-me-down CRTs. Never regretted it for a second, that thing was pure luxury.
