At the end of the competition, the Sunday Times was really not too interested, this is what they wrote: <blockquote> MICHEAL WEST, of University of Manchester Institute of Technology, is the winner of the Sunday Times/Electronic Data Systems IT2010 competition. The 20-year-old student impressed the judges with his imaginary information technology newsletter of the year 2010. West's entry written with a desktop publishing program on an Atari computer, included articles on feasible developments such as a computer program to write romantic novels and a home-diagnosis computer called 'Docbot'. It won him £2,010. Runners-up, winning £1,000 each, were Alan Milne Lees, of Lancaster University, and Karen Dean, City of London Polytechic. More details about the finalists in next week's Innovation.</blockquote> We'll see where we are in 2010. I still need to write that Romance Novel Writing software. Thanks Graham.

I always thought it was brilliant that you won this competition. I also thought that you should get the Times Newspaper to run an article on this. You've kind of done it here listing your predictions and whether they came true. But I think it would make a great story. Speak to the times in two years time brother!
