Glen and Susan
I have stated before that I was a dyed in the wool FTM user had tried
LEGACY once, to do several [gulp] merges and fell in love with LEGACY that
way. I say [gulp] because I have learned the hard way DO NOT NEVER MERGE
STUFF BLINDLY INTO YOUR DATA. Then my cousin, Susan, went to a computer
show and bought me a new computer and loaded LEGACY into my new computer.
Well I was able to ignore it for about two years then in June 2002, I
decided to try keying in just 40 persons. After that I was sold, due to a
massive stroke in Oct of 1998 I have only my right hand to write with. I
have typed in names to the present 93,999 from a count of about 35,000 and I
know there are errors but nothing compared with the ones that I merged in
before I knew better. Back to the point of this letter, Glen really hit it
with me when he said > I speak for myself when I offer a "Virtual standing
ovation" to the > programmers for all their hard work.. I second that
heartily, I cringe when I see others complain because in today's world there
are very few things that I appreciate as much as I do LEGACY. I could go on
and on but it makes me very happy to read letters like Glens
Way to go LEGACY, WAY TO GO
God Bless you LEGACY staff, by the way today marks the 14th year since I got
my first E-mail address of purplevw
Love, Light, Rainbows and Blessings

One thin you might want to do:
Install V. 5 in a new location. Then install V. 6 in the default
location.
As there won't be many if any more updates to V. 5, this should solve your
streamlined approach for V. 6.
As for the "Cartoony" look, I never had a problem with it. I adapted fine
after about 5 minutes.<hehe>
I am not a shy computer user. I jumped all over the 6.0.0.99 update as
soon
as I received the email message that it was available. If I run into
problems and report them early, hopefully it will make others experiences
with Legacy more pleasant.
I speak for myself when I offer a "Virtual standing ovation" to the
programmers for all their hard work. They definitely deserve praise for
their efforts and excellent product. I have done software development in
the past. It isn't easy (virtually impossible) to please everyone. So in
speaking for myself, they have definitely pleased me since I found Legacy.
I have expressed this sentiment to them privately and in this forum in the
past and will say it again.
I don't keep track of what "Public" release we are on or what features
they
released that I don't (currently) use. I just applaud their efforts in
everything they do. Keep bringing on new features that will help those
who
need them. If they offend some, that can't be helped.
So - Susan, happy upgrading.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Version 6 vs version 5 Legacy Deluxe
Hi all,
With the new release, I am thinking about taking the plunge and upgrading
from Version 5 Deluxe. I wonder how many of you who hated the "cartoony"
look have gotten used to the icons and the way the software handles?
I plan to produce a family report at the end of the summer, and am looking
forward to enhanced book reporting.
I know I could download Standard Version of Legacy 6, but I really hate to
have to manually pick a new location. I prefer streamlined downloading and
overriding of older versions. Am I being too cautious?
Should I bite the bullet and try manually installing version 6 elsewhere
on
my laptop? (There are instructions in the archives, I
know.)
I don't wish to start a pros and cons thread - I just wanted to know if
Version 6 grows on you or not!
Thanks,
Susan Daily
