[TI] Legacy 7.0

[Corie Lindemann]

I'm ready to give Legacy a try after the disaster I had last month with FTM. 
I lost nearly a thousand names (out of 3600) and some of my media/scrapbook 
files too when the file froze up as I was merging a duplicate individual. 
The automatic back up file was fried too. I'm now so paranoid I'm saving the 
files every night I work on it in at least 3 places!!!

How often does Legacy do their software updates? I've always been a little 
annoyed that FTM comes out with a new one every year or two and gets me for 
another $20-30. I think I like stability. ;-)
