I think I sent an email to Passage Express years ago suggesting that they develop an ebook option for sharing family histories. I did not use Passage Express because I thought CDs would quickly become outdated technology. Also, I did not like the ability of receivers of the CDs to mess with the data.

Passage Express suits my needs if I wanted better I would spend the money for another program (if exists which sure does). My question is WHY do people expect everything for free we have Legacy by Millenia which is made available as free version as well as verx reasonable price for Deluxe version with all the bells and whistles and has stood test of time and we are not charger continually for updates plus if users wish to use earlier Legacy version still supported. Compare cost of Legacy to Ancestry for example, it is sad that some people don’t remember or even know how badly a certain company made mega Dollars charging others to be able to see/access our gamily trees that contained our research that we wanted to share freely with others.

It's a shame that when software companies are "done" with a product they just mothball it. For someone, Passage Express was a love and passion when they designed it, Chances are that it did not return enough revenue to justify its continued development. In this case the greatest gift that a software company could do would be to release it in to the Public Domain. If the product is something that people truly would use someone will step up and continue development on it, even if it's on a hobby basis.

My understanding though is that those developers no longer wanted to update the program and a deal was worked out where Millennia got the source code and authorization to maintain it so in that respect it became a Millennia product. I do not know why it was discontinued but I suspect that Millennia did not have the programmer resources to maintain Passage Express and fix a number of bugs in the program.
