Oh you poor young things! The first mainframe I worked on in 1966 only had 16k words, then we got this new fangled minicomputer (it still filled a room) with 24k. Then along came these toy machines that just couldn't catch on, so I thought - I only threw away my old IBM PC XT (originally 64k then

As far as I am concerned it is wrong, but my suggestion for a change to Legacy was turned down as that is how all systems are and it would create confusion. I suggested an option where you could effectively either enter the dates as now - ie you put the new date year, or to enter the original

Excuse my silly logic, but if everybody waited a month or so for the bugs to be sorted - they wouldn't be as nobody was using it since they are all waiting ... From my experience of V3 thro V6 very few drastic bugs get through and so I'll be happy to load V7 as soon as I can get my hands on it.

I agree it is a real issue. The software, and the list, permits discussion on entering data for adoptions (not genealogy), illegitimacy/the milkman (genealogy, not family history), incest (genealogy), pets (m). So why is this one specific subject so hard to bear. In the UK it is now legal for

One thing that has been forgotten on this and by others IF you transfer on a CD-R is that the files become read only and need to be changed back one at a time to full access after loading them onto the new machine. Hence, the moving of data is always easier these days using a USB stick thingy
