Marc said "I'm not sure how much space Legacy has to store large files." This is like the line from Men In Black, "Size does not matter." Legacy does not care how big the files are or how many you have. The only limit is the size of your hard drive, whether that be an internal hard drive on your computer or and external drive, or both.

I would think it would depends on how one stores their images. I scan using TIFF and PNG, and have a few downloads using PDF and GIF. This makes my computers files rather "heavy", so to speak. JPG is made "light" for portability, but isn't very good for archiving. a largw collection of TIFF images could easily take all the space up in any flashdrive. I'm not sure how much space Legacy has to store large files, anything besides JPG would most likely have to be stored externally, making portability not as easy as with JPG. --- On Mon, 7/25/11, Kirsten Bowman <vik...@rvi.net> wrote: >From: Kirsten Bowman <vik...@rvi.net> >Subject: [LegacyUG] Filing Systems Obsolete? >To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com >Date: Monday, July 25, 2011, 5:19 PM > > >I used to print a great deal and file it all in 3-ring binders. >Afterswitching to Legacy some years back I found myself printing less and >less.Now I rarely print anything at all.
