The theme for the next issue of Network is "Making the Net Work…what's in it for me?"

We want to know how you use the internet. Why did you get connected and how has it changed your life? Has it helped you find a job, do your banking, manage the farm finances, help out with the kid’s homework, or introduced you to your soulmate? Are you having difficulties in accessing or using the internet, or are you unsure of where to start? Or, once you get there, are you unsure of what exactly it can do for you?

We'd love to hear your stories, so drop us a line and share your internet experiences.

Contact us with your contributions by 2 June 2008.
