Hi folks,

I'm hoping to switch over to Gnucash for 2002, severing my last tie with
stinking Windows.  In general I'm looking forward to this change, though
I worry some about transition issues.  I think I *won't* import from
Quicken--I think I'll just start afresh with Gnucash.

One further hesitation, though:  a feature I like in Quicken is the
ability to make "savings goals" accounts, and treat then as "hidden
accounts".  I can switch between a view of my checking account that
shows how much money I *really* have in it, versus how much I'd like to
consider *available* after subtracting off these savings goals / hidden
accounts.  Have I made this feature clear?  If so:  is there an
equivalent feature in Gnucash?

Thanks for your attention,
Steve
