Agreed, some folks have way too much to say about minor issues. Legacy, runs on a Microsoft Access database structure and as such is able to run on a wide variety of hardware configurations....but sometimes there is a hiccup when Legacy encounters non-conforming hardware or out of date drivers , or a myriad of user errors...most are recoverableable by rebuilding the database(file checking).
Hopefully, by now we have leaned that "all systems fail, "not if but when" and have taken the necessary steps to recover from such a failure without data loss or in most case too much work. If anyone reading is not creating *several backups* on a *regular backup schedule*, both offline and online, be warned you are on very "thin Ice". The legacy program and all of its "free" support is a great values at $69+ for the deluxe version. In my experience no other genealogy software comes close to this value. In my opinion the focus of a user group should be helping each other learn to use the software most effectively not complain about the software's sortcomings....
