History is great, but if you really want to do it right, you should
probably start  from scratch in GnuCash.  Keep Quicken around with the
old accounts until it's not relevant any more.  How long do you have
to keep your history?  Is that a mandated thing or personal
preference?  I used to keep my history for years and years until I
figured out that it really doesn't do me any good to keep more than 24
months of history.
