with Quicken for a year. I was also learning Linux Mint. I do home
accounting and some investments. Also used AR a couple times.  I dumped
Quicken and migrated another previous years data on a month by month, by
account basis. I now only use Quicken for 10 plus year's of pre-GNC
history.

I guess I have learned that migrating in smaller chunks is better and check
the quality of the files to be imported.

GNC does everything I want to do. Double entry occasionally plays games
with my head when addressing a new operation, and I search this forum quite
often. It is amazing at the amount of programmer and user help that I see
in this forum. Thanks to everyone.
