About rCache
rCache is that always-there place to store data that you want to refer back to. Bookmarks and saving web page data to your computer's disk are unwieldy and slow processes. Your data is stored on your hard disk, and tends to be unorganized.
rCache frees you from this, by giving you your own research repository online - where you can store articles, blog postings, documents and images. Tagging and full-text keyword searching is a snap.
You can store data that you may want to cite in your research, white paper, article or your own blog posting.

System Requirements: (Online version)
Windows, Macintosh or Linux OS that can run Firefox 1.5 and later. rCache strives to be a cross-platform system, however, use of Internet Explorer (IE) is not encouraged. We are targeting Firefox users, or those that will use Firefox for data collection. Trying to support multiple broswers may be possible in the future. For the time being, we do not have the resources to code for IE.
rCache works hand in glove with the best of breed web browser, Firefox™.
