Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy vs FTM

[Joe Martin]

I see. Since you mentioned that you use the three programs, how do you 
update them? do you keep one up-dated at all times and then export a gedcom 
to the others to update? Just curious, cause I kept FTM 5.0 updated for the 
longest time and finally just went with legacy all the way. I just now 
deleted all of the back-ups that I kept from FTM , heck, I had ten years 
worth of FTM back-ups. Made me a little nervous to to delete them but I am 
backed - up thoroughly with Legacy.

Has anyone noticed that the FTM 2005 new and improved family view screen
looks alot like Legacy's family view ?

Yes, it sure does, it also looks like Generations, as Terry writes.
I use both Generations and FTM 10 in addition to Legacy 5.
The screen also looks like Family Tree Legends which looks a lot
like the OLD FTM interface, and has many similarities to Reunion
which runs on Apple's Mac.  They all have many elements in common,
just as the controls of a car look all about the same whether it's
a Buick or a Cooper Mini.
Of all of these, I like the interface on Generations the best. 
Generations
and Reunion also offer facts, in addition to events. Neither Legacy nor
FTM and Legacy has facts, and I'd like to see them added to Legacy.
