I agree... I almost spent over 100 also and I can't imagine that I would have been as happy with the program. What made me do a "double take" when I was reviewing several was the openness with which Legacy encourages you to share your data and the program with family. I will again be giving the gift of genealogy this Christmas and many of my recipients don't want to do any "work" but do want to view what I have done on their PC's.
I figured I needed to checkout a product that it's makers were so confident of.. (yeah, I know a dangling...). You can function quite nicely with the standard version. I am pleased that I have found something I truly use that my son can give me for Christmas and not have to feel guilty about asking for since they are going to be signing for their first home and most of us know what that means.... they don't need to feel obligated to give mom something she doesn't really need or want and I will have the very thing I want. Oh, and I get to show my appreciation to the guys.. uh, whole team for all their efforts. Sounds like win, win to me.

Both have had major upgrades since my original purchase - not sure how much it would cost me to upgrade the first one, but the second would be AU$45. I originally purchased Legacy Version 3 Deluxe, upgraded to V4 Deluxe, and now to V5 - all for considerably less than the original cost of ONE of the other programs - and I'm still using Legacy. I don't have unlimited funds for software, but I'm happy to pay for the Legacy upgrades because the price is so reasonable. If I'd found Legacy before I bought the other two I would have more money to spend on certificates etc - or to pay for future Legacy upgrades.
