The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

In order for someone to be making a sustained effort to get in, they
would have to know your IP address ... 95% of the IP's provided by
broadband providers are dynamic, so they would have to know what your IP
is NOW. Also, if you have a router, then they are hitting a brick wall.
There's no way in (unless you allow something in). So it's a waste of
time.
99% of what hits your router are the current batch of viruses that try
to connect to services that are provided on windows by default (blaster,
code red, etc).
Even if the router crashes ... since it's the only point of access for
the internet, there's no risk.
