Oh goody, goody....! This should be fun
I like Legacy.. a lot...even though it does look a bit "old school", (Windows 98 springs to mind!) It does what I need it to do with no fuss and in a way that works for me, but I was always not too impressed with the charts. This looks promising.
Thanks for the heads up on that one, caljam371.

Yes...I received the email yesterday and downloaded it right away. The charts really do look good, but unless I'm missing something (or just dense

) it looks like the free version doesn't have all the charts to play with.
I'm actually thrilled with Legacy. I tried the trial version a couple of times in the past and didn't like it at all and settled on RM, but after a few years became disenchanted with RM and switched to Legacy Deluxe...and I'm so glad I did. Best decision I made. I'm just finding my way around and probably won't do much with the charts, for now anyway.

Hi Anne, please don´t say this - I have RM newly bought on the shelf by the computer ready to go, after six years of only handwritten charts and printouts spreading over the room.
Don´t tell me I have to get another program????????
Guid hunting,

Oh dear, Thrall 8-[ didn't mean to scare you
Actually, I was a committed user of RM and it suited me for about three years...I just wanted something more and found that Legacy had changed tremendously since I last used it.
If you have been doing everything by hand up till now, then you'll find RM is a blessing.
