While I think that the depreciation section is coming along nicely (done?), the capital gains section is still in need of work. Specifically, I am not happy with the account names in the Account Setup section. I've changed them a bit from the v1.6 documentation, what do you think? Good? Bad? Ugly?
Also, the example section is still a mess. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Specifically, can anyone explain to me what the idea is in the v1.6 documentation section "Selling the Asset" under the "optimistic" subsection, where it is said: 'If any amounts had been accrued as Accrued Gains, the asset amount should be closed out, offset by a negative value for Accrued Gain income. If the total that had been accrued was $5000, then the transaction might look like the following'

============================================= Chapter 8 Changes:
-Renamed the chapter from "assets and loans" to "depreciation and capital gains" (Chris, I'm thinking it is better to split the chapter, I cannot figure out a way to logically include loans here. Is that okay?)
-Moved loans out (it will go into a new chapter, if there are no objections)
-Added a year "0" to the depreciation schedule tables.
-Much text rewrite (ie: changed some tech-talk to human-speak)
-Depreciation account setup and the example now shows *2* depreciating assets rather than 1. (Did I do this correctly? Is there still just a single depreciation expense account for 2 depreciating assets?). I think this is better in that it is a more general way of showing an example.
-I'm using the account layout as suggested by Perry Smith (using subaccounts Cost and Depreciation under an account named for the asset). *I* like this layout, it makes logical sense to me. What do y'all think?
