finally- GnuCash

[Advent Systems]

Cyber Source,
    That's good news.  Are you running your business accounts through 
GnuCash also?  I MUST get my finances off windows crap.  I have for 
years been using quickbooks for my business and each year intuit puts 
more spyware and hidden controls in their software.  Like you, my 
accounting software is my last holdout to dumping MS from all my boxes.  
I would defiantly be interested in a meeting focusing on GnuCash.  How 
would the group feel about bringing a non-member to the meeting (my 
wife) who actually does the data entry for me?

Thanks,
Bob Randal
