Has anyone had Legacy freeze up on them ?- I bought the 6.0 last year and
this happens over and over, so I finally went to Roots Magic--It's very
good, especially that it lets you adjust photos, but I'm still looking for
something better-- that will show more pictures when I send it to a relative
- will any of them do this?

I have used both Legacy and Family Tree Maker, and like them both, but the
interface between FTM and Ancestry.com in the 2009 version gives it a big
advantage in my opinion.
