Geoff, How large is your genealogy file? Or how large do you expect it to get? Do you plan to create "links" to all your documents etc within Legacy?
How much disk space does your collection of photos, documents, etc take up now and what size could it grow to? You need to be aware of those facts as they will be more of an issue as far as what 'your min requirements' are. Those Legacy 'min' requirements are pretty old.
