I agree that this discussion is appropriate here.... this is relevant to gathering our data and anything that helps is welcomed by me.
At our FHC here we have managed to get new equipment that will allow you to view/scan your info and save it to CD and go from there. The problem we have is training our librarians who were still used to pencil and paper.... until I arrived (young upstart that I am... aged 62.... and started showing them what they could do with those computers they had.... We also use Legacy... I have refused to support PAF for a couple of years now and will gently recommend some one else to help them if I can't turn them on to legacy but it is still a slow process) I think we do have USB ports but we are still hyperventilating about burning a CD.... heheheh Please continue to share what you all are finding/doing as you research and your great tips on how you adapt Legacy for your own personal info.

The only way I know to do it is to make a photocopy, take it home and scan it into the computer.
