Thanks for all your advice.  I finally made a decision not to make a
decision yet!!  I'm going to see what is around in early October and get
a new mobo bundle then.  I've got a fairly busy rest-of-Summer, so I'll
go for something in the Autumn.  If anyone sees something looking really
good at that time, please post!  Thanks again for all your notes of
caution etc.

Spent a frustrating couple of hours yesterday doing some work in Windows
XP because I was already set up to deal with it.  Oh, how glad I was to
get back to Ubuntu.  A friend of mine has just bought a Mac because he
was getting really cheesed off with Windows.  He uses a Mac at work.  I
told him about Ubuntu and I'm going round there soon to put it on his
old Windows box.  That box is no slouch - it's around 1200 MHz with a
huge hard drive and loads of ram, so I know he's going to be over the
moon with Ubuntu.
