Drops into the settlement to check emails. Looking for more gigs. Trawl-ing local pubs

He hears about a multi-media project and a band member gets some multi-media training and learns about mix-ing video and audio discs

Got some advice from small business online about developing list of gigs

Still using community access

Sets up a website to promote his band, he's hiring equipment i.e. lights and backdrops. Doing part time work via job search online. Gets his girl friend pregnant

MUGGED!

He gets mugged one night after a gig. He loses his guitar

He has to hire his equipment. His girl friend has given him a choice - it's her and the baby or gigging - so he de-cides he needs to concentrate on seri-ous job search

He secures some work in a warehouse but needs to use a computer

He takes advantage of the e-learning and wireless networks to improve his skills.

Continues to work in the warehouse earning some decent money and do-ing the odd gig

Now he has access at home he starts uploading his tracks online and starts to get more work as a result. Jackson and his mate, using their combined skills, produce a music video through digital television
