Noah takes a different approach to organizing and managing information that is both Internet centric and very intuitive. The developers expect that the innovative features in Noah will make it valuable to both the casual user and the power user. Noah runs from the user's PC using a local database. Gen-9 will be making the single user version available as a free download. It plans to introduce an enterprise version in 2007. Free downloads will be made available at www.gen-9.net . "The Internet has transformed the way we work and live in the past ten years," said Gen-9's President and CEO Mark A. Fauci. "The way that we use email and the Web today is almost unrecognizable when compared to the early days. But Web browsers, email software and PIM tools have changed little since then. We felt it was time to take a fresh look at what user's needs are today and rethink how these tools should be designed to meet those needs." About Gen-9, Inc. Gen-9, Inc.
