New tricks

Grr. You'd think I'd know by now to look before I leap. I've just had to reinstall XP on my ancient laptop after wrestling with an Ubuntu install last night - of course, afterwards I find out that some of the programs I use (Phonmap, for example) aren't compatible. The system did seem to work very well, but it simply refused to see things like my wireless card. Bloody ancient computers. So far, I've got through the main part of a day doing this.
