RE: [LegacyUG] Version 6 Losing Battle

[Ian Howard]

I couldn't agree more with Steve's comments about bells and whistles. If I had 
known that
Version 6 was going to demand so much more resource, and bring my computer to a
standstill, I wouldn't have downloaded it in the first place. I don't need to 
upgrade my
PC yet. I can happily do without the Legacy Home Page and Research Guidance 
etc. etc.
Sorry, Millenniacorp, you've overcooked it!

I'm going to follow Sherry's instructions for reinstalling the final build of 
Version 5.

As I understand it, the last version of 5.x was able to read the file format of 
6.x.

And it's a perrennial problem. I stuck to version 4.0 for a long time because 
my hardware
could not cope with the extra memory requirements of 5.0. I saved up and bought 
a new
computer that could cope with the extra memory requirements of 5.0 and then 6.0 
comes out,
and I can't afford to buy yet another new computer.

I do wish they would split off the bells and whistles like "Research 
Assistants" into a
separate program, and concentrate on making improvements to the "core business" 
of Legacy.
