Hey all, I downloaded the trial version today and transfered one of my data bases into it. Looks like it worked very well. I am still figuring out how to navigate thru it, but it looks like a very good replacement for my very obsolete tree software so far. <<Yes, it is easy to transfer data from one of the other programs to Roots Magic 4 RM4 has instructions on how to do it.>> =

I too like the Roots Magic 4 Barbara Rector Hill -------------------------------------------------- From: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 12:34 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Software pros and cons > > > Hey all, > I downloaded the trial version today and transfered one of my data bases > into it.

I still use an old free download of Legacy 7.0.

I find the new Roots Magic to have easier to read pages than the program I had for many, many years. They let you do a trial use. Look at it.

If you are completely comfortable and happy with your present software and it is compatable with todays computer systems then I see no reason to switch. However if your software is as old as mine and you have to come up with new patches every time an updated windows operating system comes out you stand a very good chance to find you are at the end of the road for your tree program. I am being told that there is no patch available to make my tree program work with Vista and I have not had manufacturer support for many years, so I think it's time to switch and update. I think it would be much better to get used to another tree program then to upgrade my computer and figure out later I can't use my obsolete program at all and be in the "what now" situation and have to scramble to find a solution. Good Luck, Dan <<I still use an old free download of Legacy 7.0. Are there advantages to changing or upgrading?>>
