Sorry to say Good-bye to GnuCash

[BPG]

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.
