I'm using 8.10, and I've noticed that no more updates are coming.

What annoyed the heck out of me was the earlier (7.xx) version of Ubuntu *did* work.

Yeah, I know I'll be forced to upgrade soon. One thing that'll make it easier is 
I abandoned using Ubuntu for multimedia. For example, to play Pandora I now just 
plug my ipod into my stereo <g>. I just stopped using youtube on Ubuntu, as I 
got tired of the video randomly going black, freezing, etc.
