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.
