Amen to that! Way too much complaining. People need to look in the mirror.

Agreed, some folks have way too much to say about minor issues. Legacy, runs
on a Microsoft Access database structure and as such is able to run on a wide
variety of hardware configurations....but sometimes there is a hiccup when
Legacy encounters non-conforming hardware or out of date drivers , or a myriad
of user errors...most are recoverableable by rebuilding the database(file
checking).
Hopefully, by now we have leaned that "all systems fail, "not if but when" and
have taken the necessary steps to recover from such a failure without data loss
or in most case too much work. If anyone reading is not creating several
backups on a regular backup schedule, both offline and online, be warned you
are on very "thin Ice".
The legacy program and all of its "free" support is a great values at $69+ for
the deluxe version. In my experience no other genealogy software comes close
to this value.
In my opinion the focus of a user group should be helping each other learn to
use the software most effectively not complain about the software's
sortcomings....Tom Eckle

Totally agree Jack. Except I have been using it from well before V3 when I
migrated data to it from FHS and I have NEVER experienced a fault that messed
up my data files nor have I ever had the program freeze in use nor have I ever
experienced any issue upgrading to a later release. I am very happily using
8.0.0.517 thanks. Cheers Stan ------ Original Message ------From: "Jack

Why do a limited number of people have to talk about “lots of faults” in
Legacy. I have used Legacy since V3 and there have been a few occasions when
faults have been a real issue (that mess up my data). But such problems have
always been cleared up very quickly. Of course there are outstanding faults,
but are they serious? If they affect the storage of your data then the answer
would be yes – but nobody has reported such an issue recently. Are there issues
with the output of data to reports or web sites? Yes there are. But, do they
stop you using the system? I presume the answer is no, else the moaners would
have gone elsewhere. OK, I still have a few minor issues with the software,
such as the support of same sex marriage and some restrictions on web page
creation. But overall I am still delighted with the system. The ease of use was
what first attracted me and it still retains that virtue. To those who decry
the system after the first mention on here of a potential problem, later found
to be a user problem – please wait until there is a real issue found. Jack
