Default Bird acting up. I need opinions.

All right, I don't drive my bird that much (5000 miles a year maybe), last weekend I took it out and noticed that everytime when I would start the engine, the trip computer would reset, so I assumed that my battery was kind of bad, but I just replaced it last year. When i turned on the A/C, the speedometer gauge was going up and down at stop lights. What do you guys think, is this a regular problem when a battery goes bad, or could it be something else? Anybody with the same problem? I a tech, but I haven't had time to mess with it, and I kind of want to find out if pontiacs to this so that I can fix it faster. Thanks guys.

The needle on the guage fluctuating at stoplights leans toward a bad alternator.
