I have a couple of friends who also use Legacy and are quite happy to
stay with Ver. 3 & 4 because all they want to do is enter data, print
out the odd chart and keep it safe. Also the computers they use and the
HD capacity is older technology, slow as old dogs but they are quite
happy at that level (until they die, the computers, that is)....whereas
I love the features of 6 but also have a whizz-bang machine and broadband.
So I can see what Ros is saying. Unfortunately it seems to happen to
popular software.....(Paint Shop Pro would be an example.....starts out
small, loads quickly and is effective then grows so it takes forever to
load, takes up 180mb plus the folder is sticks in My Docs and they move
all the toolbars :o) private gripe)
Perhaps the final builds of older versions such as 3 & 4 could make
available for free download again.

Hello
Am I the only one in thinking that maybe, just maybe, it is time for a
'lite' version of Legacy. I mean, the free version doesn't do several
things, but v6 at nearly 25Mb keeps crashing my computer, it has so
many 'bells and whistles' - and I can't afford to upgrade to XP and
get broadband.
Or can you go to the Legacy site and get older versions?
Of course, it would be a horrendous task to decide which features to
keep in and which to keep out - but things like
copying-to-the-Clipboard, the GeoLocation database could go...
What do others think?
