[GNC] Downloading GnuCash updates

[David Carlson]

Edwin,
If your happy with the latest release after you install it  don't worry
about  keeping a copy of the previous release.  If you were to discover
later that the latest release broke a feature that you used enough to want
to revert to a previous release, you can still get old releases from the
GnuCash website and install it over the newer release,  at least for
Windows  versions.

I like to make a copy of my data file in case the new release corrupts my
data.  That hasn't happened,  but I am a little paranoid.

It's more important to have a data backup plan that will work when your
computer dies or when an airplane crashes into your house.
