I agree, and we all have things we would like for the Legacy software to do, but when we buy/build a house or buy a car we have that option to look for what we like, but most of the time there is something lacking, and it's time we should realize that this Legacy software is not going to fit all of us. Lots of us have made suggestions to Legacy and the rest should be up to them, no one is making anyone buy the software.
