Thanks everyone. As you may have guessed I have some disabilities and I do need something very light weight. Although i have had legacy for a few years, I don't know how to use the program so well. Than my laptop crashed 2 nights ago. Thankfully, I backed up my family tree on a thumb drive.
I get so confused with all these computers. I wonder if the ULTRABOOK that I plan to buy tomorrow with Windows 8 will have enough memory/gig etc to run Legacy, my Itunes, hold all my pictures, documents. So if anyone wants to suggest a good ULTRABOOK for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I would wait to get the new IPAD, but I will be on bed rest after a surgery on November 5th and does everyone really want me to ask a million questions on how to run FAMILIES :) MJ On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 11:51 AM, Bill Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > I use the Families app on my IPad and iPhone.
