Just a small minority of Legacy users run the program on a Mac. The only
issue reported so far was that Legacy had frozen so badly that the only
way to get out of it is to shut down the Mac. However, when the user

I've run Legacy using Virtual PC on my Mac and yes it is a little slower

1) get 2 external drives. Download the latest version of Legacy to the hard
drives. Intellishare mark you data files. Copy all photos, scanned
document files and files etc to the hard drives. Continue to keep the data
on the computer, but update to the hard
Hello Keith,
Well said.
Legacy is very much US centric.
Even the time mentions when we got those by

Hi Mike,
Have you closed and reopened Legacy Charting? A new update doesn't
appear immediately in Legacy or Legacy Charting. I'm not sure how
often the programs check for an update apart from at Startup.

use last settings
