I just sent this to the Breckenridge list, but perhaps everyone isn't signed up for that list so I'm adding my input here as well. lynnhada@comcast.net Although my wife and I have used Legacy for several years now, formerly we used Family Tree Maker for Windows (FTW) exclusively and I was a beta tester for each new version of the software for several years until this year. I was not a tester for FTW 2005. I guess I didn't get invited to do the testing this year because I was on vacation last year during the beta testing and did not contribute too much. Anyway, I use the Deluxe version of Legacy and am perfectly satisfied with it except for trying to print out big family trees. Legacy cannot print trees; there is another program that will take your Legacy file and make a tree. It doesn't work all that well and is more expensive than upgrading to FTW. Due to this weakness in the Legacy program, every two years before my wife's family reunion, we have to export her file from Legacy to a GEDCOM and import the GEDCOM into FTW to print a tree. Of course GEDCOM files don't export the pictures and so we have to relink all the pictures after the export/import. Not fun! We always mount the tree on a wall at the family reunion. This year's tree was 4 feet tall and 30 feet long. The family is growing!!! I just bought the new FTW 2005 and was very impressed with it, although it still has the deficiency that made me change to Legacy, sourcing your new entries. Legacy is far superior in its ease of sourcing, FTW is much more cumbersome. (At least it was, I haven't used the new version to check extensively, only cursorily have checked.) It really almost comes down to what you intend to do and cost, Legacy is cheaper but FTW is not all that much more expensive any more and the upgrade was only $19.95 plus shipping (about $27 total) this time. Of course, the initial cost is higher. Legacy Basic is free and Deluxe Legacy is only 14.95 downloaded with no shipping costs. If you're not sure, you can try the Legacy Basic for free as long as you like and then decide if you like it. I notice that FTW has copied a lot of things in its latest version that Legacy has had for a while. OK, that's my 2 cents. Gary Lynn Hada (sitting at my wife's computer)
