I would be careful with Urban Dictionary. It's unfiltered, which means both that it's uncensored, and it gets a lot of deliberate fake entries. On Wed, Jan 5, 2022 at 5:17 AM Dustin Henning wrote: > AFAIK ~ as far as I know > > While that is a common acronym online, FWIW, I've found I can often

I have been following this discussion rather closely. I am American (not something to be proud of right now), but I do travel a lot on business worldwide, dealing with a lot of currencies. It'll be interesting to see how this resolves. On Tue, Aug 20, 2019 at 4:21 AM Jeff Abrahamson wrote: >

Pleasant idea, but not feasible in my case... I am exploring converting over because my Quicken is hitting unauthorized memory access errors when I attempt to modify report filtering. I am unsure just how much longer it will muddle through with any usefulness. On Sun, Aug 4, 2019 at 2:12 PM

[GNC] Migration

2019-07-31 Thread Clint Chaplin
Hi all, I am looking for, well, some assurance here. How many of you migrated to GnuCash from another financial product? If you did, what did you migrate from? How much data did you have to migrate? And would you do it again knowing what you know now? I am currently using MYM12 with 34 years
