Hi Kirsten, I feel like you can use Legacy with your i-pad as a VNC viewer, Virtual Network Computing. Legacy would actually be running on your Windows desktop computer which communicates with the ipad. I have used this setup (free version) with my laptop and desktop remotely over the internet using WinXP. Your can also do the same on a local wi-fi network in your home or internet. RealVNC $30 + iPad app $10 = $40

Your data is actually on your PC using Legacy, you are just operating it remotely. Sort of like setting in a comfy chair using a remote keyboard, mouse and display.
