[GNC] Nothing Wrong

[Mike Brady]

Piling on here. Compared to most software I use that's actively 
maintained, GnuCash is satisfyingly stable and functional. Seldom needs 
attention to anything other than my own bookkeeping errors. Thanks!

And thanks also for this newsgroup! I've learned a few things about 
basic bookkeeping and accounting issues that are helpful, and go beyond 
what was in the books used in the basic classes back in the last century 
(real paper textbooks! early days of "pocket" calculators (I got a 
Commodore PR-100 while in the first semester; still have it, and it 
still works)!).

In my case, I came to GnuCash from a spreadsheet-based home bookkeeping 
setup that had become just too complicated and unmaintainable. Spent 
more time fighting with formatting and broken formulae/links (it was 
multiple pages per multiple files all cross-linked with each other ... 
yeah, right) than with actually keeping the records. Spreadsheets were 
great for my limited needs in the '80s (Visicalc 1.0 on TRS-80) and '90s 
(Quattro Pro then Star/LibreOffice), but by 2020 I needed something real.

Again, thanks! We don't say that often enough.
