I reloaded ubuntu again. I got everything working again. (I'm getting good
at this) I turned off update notification. I figure as long as everything
works, why update. If it ain't broke.

I will load my preferred software again. I will load my address book again.
Everything should be fine for a while.

I don't know which update screwed up my wifi. It would be nice to know. I
looked through the list and don't see anything that specifically mentions
wifi or wireless drivers. I'll have to read each one and install it one at a
time.
