Sorry to say Good-bye to GnuCash

I'm using version 2.2.9 and XP


I'd really LOVE to stay with GnuCash.....if it didn't corrupt data files
often.

Gnu is really fun to use.

Quicken is FAST.....really fast and I can download 8 online accounts with no
problem at all.

Colin, I love your enthusiasm and encourages me to still "play with"
Gnucash.  If you have any suggestions for my sorry case I'd love to hear
them.

Remember- ALL of my accounts from Quicken came over in QIF files with little
trouble.
