What is a Windows CE device? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken McGinnis Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 5:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Question Pocket Genealogist file transfer to Legacy
Hi Legacy Users, I see that Kevin the developer of Pocket Genealogist has already answered this but I'd like to also say a couple things about the Pocket Genealogist. Kevin has worked very hard on Pocket Genealogist and it is a great program. He is great programmer and has done an excellent job with the data synchronization between Pocket Genealogist and Legacy. In fact through all of his testing and work with making sure data is never lost he has helped me solve some important data issues with Legacy. He knows Legacy inside and out and has designed the Pocket Genealogist to take full advantage of your Legacy data. The Pocket Genealogist was built for Legacy. I'd have to say that you can feel 100% confident in the job Kevin has done. I have never seen anyone so devoted to his users and to his product and to making sure your data is safe in every way. We don't know of anyone who has ever lost information or has had any problems with anything. For those who have never tried the Pocket Genealogist it's a great tool. It will read your Legacy family file information into your Windows CE device. On your device you have full editing capabilities and the program is awesome. When you get home you can then transfer all changes you have made on your handheld device right back into your Legacy file. This gives you real power to be able to make your Legacy data portable where you can take it anywhere you go. Being able to edit your file where ever you are helps keep things up to date and accurate. No more do you have to try to remember things and then try to enter things when you get home. All of the Pocket Genealogist users that I have talked to simply love the program and I think all of them love what Kevin has done with it. He listens to his users and has given them so much power in such a nice program. Richard quoted one of our support people as saying data on a hand held device should be considered as Read/only. This used to be true but since the release of the full syncronized version of Pocket Genealogist many, many of our users have had no problems at all using full power of the Pocket Genealogist with it's exciting editing capabilities and it's two-way data syncronization between Legacy and your Windows CE device.
