Foreign Perspectives

Or rather not.

The basic system is working very well on the computer but I’ve two problems that are stopping me from abandoning Vista at the moment.

The first is the wifi card. I’ve spent ages trying out the various “solutions” that I can find and, so far, none of them work. My guess is that I’ll have to wait for the new version of Ubuntu to sort these (it’s due out on the 24th of April).

 The second is getting stuff out of Outlook. It looks like the various versions of Outlook have managed to corrupt the data over the years so at the moment I’m having trouble getting that out via Thunderbird although I’m hopeful that I’ll get that operational in due course. Having over 10 years worth of e-mails takes a “little” time to move.
