Mike, I'll take a look at Legacy 8 if and when it is released, but I have already started the migration of my data to a program which I feel is/has outpaced Legacy's innovations (which have become very stale).
I'll give Legacy points for their reports, but Legacy's GUI is definitely outdated. Legacy hasn't really offered any innovative ideas for quite some time. They touted version 7.5 as if it was a great improvement/upgrade - basically 7.5 added Family Search capabilities which some folks are/were interested in, but many are not. Of course (through no fault of Legacy's) most folks haven't even been able to make use of the Family Search capabilities until very recently. If you look at the various software reviews/comparisons, you will notice that Legacy still has a good rating, but they have definitely lost ground. Bottom line, no need for me to develop patience for an eventual upgrade that I really don't expect to offer any substantial enhancements/innovative ideas.

Millennia made the mistake of raising expectations and then couldn't deliver on the several dates that they proposed. This led to a furore within this group, with a lot of people just asking "When", "When", "When" and displaying a lack of patience because of their raised expectations. The correct way of handling future releases, and Millennia is not Apple or Microsoft, is not to make sound until there's something concrete in the pipeline. And even then, the announcement should only mention a date that can be met with 100% certainty. Until then... you'll just have to develop some patience. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
