Welcome to Organize!. The most innovative, easiest to use and most cost effective PIM (Personal Information Manager) for Microsoft(R) Windows(TM). WHAT IS ORGANIZE! ----------------- Organize! looks and feels exactly like a diary, making it one of the easiest to use software ever. No matter how disorganized you are, Organize! can organize it all for you and without sticking to a system that all PIMs impose on their customers and there is no need to plough through thick manuals. Because of its innovative design, you add functions as you need them. There are no unnecessary functions to clutter your way, steepening the learning curve unnecessarily. Organize! can flip pages like the real thing with binders that click open to insert pages. But most important, it uses a Word in Context system to manage random and structured personal information that you enter into the diary. With this system you will never loose your way again in a software. IMPORTANT NOTE -------------- This document supercedes the documentation in version 1.0 of Organize!. Those who have registered with version 1.0 would get their free upgrades and the keycode for their password would be arriving in the mail.
