I don't foresee these products being as hard to get
used to as you think, especially for people motivated
to use them.

In order for a hacker to get ahold of these computers,
they'd need a static IP and they'd need to have stored
records, so then we must assume that they are
referring to central offices with records and
information.

Maybe you could contact them and offer a linux
solution to their problems. Wouldn't it be fun to
travel the world, meet real 'we risk our lives
everyday' missionaries, check out the inner workings
of Asian missions organizations and at the same time
be of invaluable service to God and man? Sounds like a
groovy gig to me.
