Hi Michele,
I went the other way. My first software in 1996 was FTM followed
by PAF
4 & PAF 5; in 2000 I switched to Legacy 4, followed by 5, 6, and 7 (all
deluxe editions); and, for 1 year, beginning September 2007, I tried TMG
running parallel with Legacy 6. I consider myself computer literate
and a
medium-advanced genealogist with 12 years experience in researching
ancestors.
With the release of Legacy vs. 7 deluxe, I uninstalled TMG vs. 7 and
through
up my arms with great rejoicing. It was a relief to commit to a program
whose user manual, and help center I could understand and use. I
also found
that for me Legacy focuses on the parts of family history that I
wish to
concentrate with enough extras to keep me happy. There was not
enough time
for me to use both software programs. My database contains almost 2500
people. My four direct lines are Smith and Smith (no relations,
Stokes and
Riley; the Master Source list and Citation list are huge; and images of
pictures and documents mid-size.
Most of all, I find the LUG list and the Legacy support for users and
accessible to users superior to TMG and all of the other kinds of
software
that I use. Now, I'm working on getting my database to reflect the
skills
and caliber of what other users are illustrating on LUG.
If you have any specific questions, please contact me off list.
Good luck in making your decision. It really is a personal choice.

For those that have switched to Legacy from TMG, what is it that you
like
about Legacy that TMG doesn't offer?
