Having read all the previous responses to this question, I shudder to think how disappointed many Legacy users would be to find that their computer files will probably not even be looked at following their death. Yes, there are many close families that will make this an exception but on the other hand there will be many whose computers will sit in the corner of a closet or garage for years until somebody decides to do a spring house cleaning and finally dispose of "ol' grandpa's stuff". By that time, your computer's operating system will be as ancient as Windows 3.1, your CDs and DVDs will be suffering from bit-rot (assuming there still are such things as CD and DVD players), and the Legacy company from Surprise, Arizona may no longer exist or else the current version of Legacy is v124.6. For that matter, Arizona may no longer exist. I'd just like to pass along my recommendation for passing along your own legacy: HARD COPY ! No exceptions.
