Re: [LegacyUG] Software

2022-01-31 Thread Jan Hornick 
Randall, like you for years I has asked Geoff, or other Legacy representatives, 
at every genealogy convention when a Mac version would be available.  I have 
heard quite a few others express the same wish.  I, like Randall, really prefer 
Legacy to other programs…and yet it slows my MacBook Air terribly, and drains 
the battery to use it in a parallel/fusion setting.  Let’s hope the MyHeritage 
techs do bring a Mac Version to fruition in the near future!

Hopefully,

Jan Hornick

I also have Legacy on my Mac…using Fusion.  It works, but I do wish there were 
a Mac version of Legacy, because I think Legacy is terrific!
