The average American computer illiterate instantly associates "legacy" with "vast inherited wealth". And majority of readers of press release, not to mention reporters, will be computer illiterate. I know it (legacy) has become a part of the lexicon, but why not buck the trend and use a phrase which brings association of being tarnished with age? Perhaps "rusty old", or "dusty-deck"?
