losing the computer !!!!
We will shortly be losing the computer...but to stay on line I was thinking about using the library or an internet cafe (if Barnsley has such a thing)......
But just how secure are these options.....can you buy accommodation and airline tickets with your credit cards at these places..????? or is it too open to fraud........

Booking on line is fairly secure as long as the company you are dealing with has the locked padlock sign at bottom corner of PC, when registering your credit card. The problem with Internet Cafes, is that they maynot have a firewall present, which means they are open for attack by hackers. I would not buy anything over the internet in one of these places.
