Well said Ed !! This is the type of post that I can handle opening up and reading. It is constructive critiscm of the program !! It isn't several people sniping back and forth at each other !! And, it gives me information telling me, as a newbie, what I can't do with Legacy !!

Subject: [LegacyUG] Software limitations (this is not negative!)



In a week's worth of use, I seem to be pushing Legacy to its limits
(version 5, deluxe/paid, latest download). This is NOT a negative post!

- I'm running against limitations inherent in GEDCOM
importing/exporting.

- I run up against exposing living persons' names in web page
generation.

- In moving from word-processed form to database form, I'm constrained
by the lack of editing/formatting ability.

But you know what?

I don't REALLY see those as problems. That's because Legacy appears to
be a mature project, with an ongoing base of active users. It can only
get better. As those limitations become non-issues years from now, I'll
be ecstatic. In the meanwhile, so long as I know the boundaries, I can
work with that. The fact that there WILL be improvements, and the fact
that there are others actively helping me to use it - to accomplish what
I want to accomplish in sharing my research - makes it the ideal choice.
