Esat Young Scientists Visit

1. I spoke to John Hanley from Malahide Community School who did a comparative survey on Irish and Danish businesses and their on-line presence.

2.I spoke to Cian Hughes and James O'Sullivan who won second prize in their category for their project on Internet Security. They recommend the following sites:

http://www.pgpinternational.com
At this site you can download 'Pretty Good Privacy' so that you can encrypt your e-mail and send personal or private details safely.

http://www.zonelabs.com
Here you can search for a programme called zone alarm. It will protect your work by allowing you to set up a personal firewall for windows.

This will be the address of the guys' own website when it is set up.
