IF you did not know, it was World
Book Day in the UK and Ireland on Tuesday 4 March, 2010. The idea of
World Book Day is to get more young people reading books. School
children of all ages and some pre-school groups at participating
schools were given support material including the World Book Day £1
Book Tokens. We popped over to Pritchards, Formby, who are one of
the hundreds of book shops involved, to see the tokens being spent.
For more information about the World Book Day charity and the event

DO YOU USE PASSWORDS?
DO you have a home computer that
is connected to the internet by wireless? We are advising all
our readers to reminded the importance of securing all wireless
network connections. The simple use of a password will help
keep your system safer and also stop people from logging on making
your connection slower! It has been recently noted by
Merseyside Police that there are many unsecured networks in the
Merseyside area making it very easy for anyone to log on to those
venerable networks. Once logged in a hackers to gain access to
confidential information, use your internet account for accessing
sites that are not ones you would want to access and worse. If you
want more information about how to protect your computer, we will be
adding a simple advice page on Mersey Reporter very soon. But you
can always get very good advice from Get Safe Online via going to:-
