Park City, Utah - October 17, 2007 -- Chronos LC today announced the release of a free converter application that makes switching from Bare Bone Software's Yojimbo to the award-winning SOHO Notes both fast and easy. According to Robert McCullough, V.P. of Development at Chronos, "We've seen substantial interest from Yojimbo customers wanting to make the transition to SOHO Notes. SOHO Notes is much more flexible in the options it gives customers for organizing THEIR data. In particular, users can organize their notes in hierarchical groups of folders and sub-folders—Yojimbo can't. Plus, users can create custom smart folders to view, find, and organize their data—Yojimbo can't. And now, for a limited time, Yojimbo users can make the switch at a 35% discount."
