Dave, I have some sympathy with your point of view and the request for some
of the features to be optional has been made before. I do have some American
and Canadian relatives in my tree but my use of Legacy for searching these
is limited and the DNA part I am not likely to use at all (it seems to be
too intrusive to be quite British!).
Although the size of the program is not yet overwhelming, I have just
checked and my Legacy file is in excess of 1 GB excluding pictures although
much of this is due to web pages. This is before the latest update which I
have yet to download and at some time I guess I will receach a limit.
Just as a matter of interest you are not related to any Aitchison's in
Hastings are you? I'm not but a friend with that name lived there.

Subject: [LegacyUG] The Americanisation of Legacy?
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 20:22:39 +1000
Does anyone else think that Legacy is going down the path of the majority
of other available FT programs by becoming more and more Americancentric?
The latest update include lots of things to do with American counties etc.
There is even a button in the form of the Stars and Stripes !!
In my particular tree everybody is either British or Australian.
Legacy is now suffering from bloat and this could be the reason for the
bugs etc.
I have been using Legacy since Version 3 and up till now I have been very
happy.
I left FTM and switched to Legacy for the same reason.
If only Legacy could have made a lot of this *extra* stuff optional !! Alas
that is not so (sigh)
Might be time to look at a program more Britishcentric !!!
Time to do some research.
Thank you for puttin up with my rant.
Regards
Dave Aitchison
