I'm currently working on an internet supplement for the March 30 Saturday Star and the editor has asked me to find "ordinary" people who are using the net to get a flavour for who's doing it and why. If you're interested, I'd like to do a short interview with you over the weekend, and possibly send a photographer around early in the week, too.

These are some of the questions:

1. Who are you, how many people are in your family and when did you start using the Internet?
2. How has it changed your life (if at all) and that of your other family members?
3. How many of your family members use the net (and to do what)?
4. Are you concerned about content on the net?
5. What's good about the Internet?
6. What's bad about it?
7. What are your thoughts about the current state of the net?
8. where do you see it going in the future?
9. Where would you like to see it go?
10. What should people who are currently not using a computer or have one but are not on the net know before they start?

Thanks
