Is it the alternator or something less painful?

Two miles from breaking down: Radio quits working
One mile from breaking down: ABS light goes on
Then, I stop at an intersection and find that I have barely any power in 1st, just enough in 2nd to crawl 500 feet to a parking lot where the car completely dies. After being parked for a couple minutes though, the car makes the traditional whining sound like it has a low battery upon turning the key and NPR comes on again.
Looking at past posts, it sounds like this might just be the voltage regulator? I really hope so. I've had this car just over two weeks now and it's causing me to lose all the faith I had in Saabs.
Thanks,
Charlie
