I've been following this little debate because I've noticed that almost always, in this user group, if you criticize the Legacy prgram you are attacked by someone who claims to be an expert declaring that there is nothing wrong with the software and you (the critic) must be a computer idiot, or words to that effect. It seemed to me that you were a little rude yourself, Louise Par, in your reply to Steve Hall's first message. I think he was replying to you with the same attitude.
