Just heard a great presentation by Rowan Merewood (@rowan_m) about legacy code. After this I think there are 2 things we should remember:

Split it up: don’t try to do in all the same thing. Splitting it up in smaller parts will make you able to set goals and make sure you are not loosing a lot of time.
Make it better, not the best: in some cases of rewriting legacy code its better to wrap better code around it.

One sidenote: The comics Rowan used in his presentation were really nice. Comic book guy I suppose?
