Hi Peter, Yes, I am still alive. Sorry I haven't had time to write. First we got those computer donations then I had a bought of illness and now I am trying to get caught up.
I am currently configuring a Mac for a 13 yo boy at the request of his uncle. The Uncle is worried the kid will get restless this summer and get into trouble. A computer can offer a lot of options to kill boredom. Here are a few lines but may not be in order.

It is nice to here they are pulling together. Hope they are thinking Core in the near to intermediate future. Also thanks for the info on Evil Twin and pharming. I had heard of the pharming idea. In fact there was a sight that was exploiting some browsers till they made a patch. The Evil Twin is new to me. Since I don't have Wi-Fi or Airport I am not a target but will pass the info on to others I know. Will write more when I have more time.
