Sophie has suggested she would like a digital camera.

Sophie is due to go skiing with her school, which will be an adventure in itself as it will be her first trip so far away from home.

Sophie said "I was hoping for a digital camera where I can take photos of my trip and transfer them onto my computer it will be great for memories I have shared with my friends and it will give my mom and dad the chance to look at the great times I had on my first big trip away from home."

Sophie will just have to wait to see what prizes are in store for her, she is keeping her fingers crossed

Simon Says: Since our article in the Birmingham Mail I have had friends come up to me telling me of their experiences with digital equipment.

For Example a friend of Simon's when he was at school a teacher asked him to press any key on the computer, Simon's friend said that he spent ages looking for the 'any' key on the keyboard.

Also Simon's friend opened the disc drive and he thought that was where he balanced his mug.

Simon Said "It is nice to hear of other peoples experiences in the learning process of digital, perhaps other people will write into the Evening mail with their experience and join in the fun along with me and my family."

We as the Locke Family are about to embark on a journey into the digital future. It is an exciting new challenge for us all.

Simon and Kieran are both looking forward to BT vision as they will both be able to watch Sentana Sport, as they are both football and sport fanatics. Also Kieran is waiting for his PSP as he enjoys playing on his nintendo Wii and playstation 2 along with his dad. They both enjoy the challenge of new games and are very competitive against one another.

Sophie too is looking forward to trying out a web-cam and her PSP, Sophie is a little whizz on the computer so she is exciting about trying out all this new digital equipment.

Myself Julie I am looking forward to trying out the digital equipment over the next twelve months, and hopefully pick up on a few helpful hints along the way. Most of all it is about our family having fun and taking part in a digital experience.
