Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Chromebook

[James Cook]

Again, I am not familiar with Chromebook, but the marketing would indicate
this is not true.  See my earlier post, and...

"VNC Viewer for Google Chrome is from RealVNC, the inventor of VNC remote
access and control technology. It can connect to any Windows, Mac OS X,
Linux, or UNIX computer running VNC-compatible Server technology"

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Chromebook

[Ron Taylor]

Legacy only runs in a Microsoft Windows environment.  Chromebooks run Chrome OS 
which is essentially the Chrome browser with a keyboard.  Anything that runs 
under Chrome like Google Docs will work on the Chromebook.  Legacy is not 
browser based so it will not work under Chrome OS.  It is unlikely that 
Chromebooks will ever run a "virtual machine" in which Windows might operate.  
The answer is NO to Windows based programs.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Chromebook

[Ron Ferguson]

Wendy,

As you may have read elsewhere Chromebook uses the Chrome o/s which I am pretty 
sure is not the same as Android.

I would, therefore, not expect Families to run.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Chromebook

[James Cook]

You could remote to a Windows PC.  I am not familiar enough with
Chromebook's either, but the app store lists VNC Viewer, and I've read that
Splashtop for Chromebook should be coming soon.  With this sort of app, you
can have your PC running at home, and then connect to it remotely via the
cloud with your Chromebook.  In theory at at least, you could launch Legacy
at home remotely while out and about at the library or on the road doing
research.  The up side is no sync is necessary, you work in your own DB.
I've seen Splashtop work (not for legacy) but its interface brings your
windows desktop to your tablet as if you were sitting at your PC at home.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Chromebook

[Wendy Howard]

But if that's the case (that a Chromebook runs Android) then you could
use the Families app, which syncs with Legacy.

You can start a new family file in Families, so do not have to start
with a Legacy file if you don't have access to a Windows machine -
though if you have a Legacy file, but no longer have a Windows machine,
you might like to ask a friend with a Windows machine to help with
getting your data into Families in the first place.

http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/index.html

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Chromebook

[Jim Terry/Support]

I did some googling. Chromebook is a personal computer running Chrome OS.
Chrome OS is a Linux-based operating system designed by Google to work
primarily with web applications (cloud-based). Legacy can't run on it.

John,

Chromebook is new to me, but according to the website it has the Chrome o/s.

Since Legacy requires Windows o/s I would not expect it to run.

Legacy will only run on a Windows operating system.  If I am not mistaken, the 
Chromebook runs on the Android operating system.  Therefore, Legacy will not 
run on a Chromebook.
