- WHAT IS ACHA?
- (pronounced Ah-Sha, portuguese for 'find')
-
- Acha was developed to provide lightning speed access to
- miscellaneous information. One of the original uses for Acha
- was saving code snippets and being able to recall them for
- later use in projects.
-
- As Acha was used more, there was a natural tendency to start
- putting other types of infomation in it. For example, the
- name and telephone number of another person. Or the server
- name, login name, and password of a network server a user
- needed once-in-a-while.
-
- It turns out that Acha is great for entering and retrieving
- names of people, www addresses, email messages, telephone
- numbers, addresses, product serial numbers, product
- information, pictures and sound (registered version only),
- and really anything else that you'd like to recall at a
- later time.
-
- Acha is a fast and easy to use tool that organizes all kinds
- of information that can be instantly recalled.
