First, I'm sorry about including the entire digest. It was careless and rude of me, since I've been around long enough to know better. I now get individual emails, not digests, and not compose on the small screen that makes it harder to check things. Also, apologies to Michael Stagle for Replying rather than Reply All. I dream of the day all my email accounts have the same settings.
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. It looks like the core team will change rather than disappear. (I've seen both good and bad open source team changes.) Yes, Quicken might be less likely to stick around than GnuCash. They've long ignored problems in the Canadian product (some serious, not just bank reports), and they think they can keep us by making it hard to export our data. Still, the conversion will be a lot of work, and The Devil You Know... When I do it, I want to convert everything, so that I only have to maintain one program. It will be a big project since I've used Quicken tags (labels?) for a lot of things. Yes, I really should use more than Quicken's automatic backup system. If the program breaks, those backups will be useless. (I already have a good method to backup my entire hard drive. Dad designed hardware, and drilled into me that a backup on the same device is not a backup.) I definitely appreciate the many volunteers and their work, from core maintenance to bug tracking to helping people with basic double entry accounting. -- +++ Not as a ladder from earth to Heaven, not as a witness to any creed, But simple service simply given to his own kind in their common need. -- Rudyard Kipling _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
