finally- GnuCash

[Advent Systems]

Cyber Source,
    Now that's REALLY good news.  This sounds like it will work fine for 
me as I rarely need to generate custom "physical" invoices for my 
clients.  From what I understand meetings won't startup again until the 
fall and they will be posted here.  I look forward to meeting.

Thanks,
Bob Randal
