The new Youth Tech is here. If you go to Keyword: YT, you'll notice a huge change! That's right, the redesign has taken a large step forward. It may look totally strange to you, but don't be scared off... Most of your favorite places are still there, but we've added a few new features, and made the old ones better.
The new Youth Tech is divided up into six main categories: Techie Pals, Chat Shack, Software Exchange, Tech Stuff, Net Surf & Virtual Fun. Check them all out!
Make sure you take the Youth Tech Tour (you can get to it by using keyword: YT and clicking on the bottom right button).
Enjoy the new YT!

opinion center: Game System Wars follow up
submitted by YTCCByte@AOL.com
===================================================
Alot of you had mixed opinions on the matter. :D Some said Nintendo 64 was the best, others said Playstation was the best, and the rest said Saturn was the best! Alot of you did support your answers though! =D Some said.. Nintendo had less games, Playstation has CDs and major load times, and Saturn doesn't have enough support. Here were a few of the opinions posted:
"N64 is the best,without a doubt,all there is in a kid's mind is playing games.N64 has like no loading time and it has a better brand name.We all trust NINTENDO because it has the most experience and always the better value.I've had Sega and I don't like it.The games on that company stink! They may have more games but they dont have good games.Sega's games cost less for that very reason.Nintendo is a quality name we all trust.Mario,another name with a reputation goes hand in hand with Ninteno.What has Sega got?Another Sonic game?" -CYBERMANMB
" There all the same. It's just the question of what your friends are using and what is the coolest at your school. They have advantages and disadvantages to all of them."
-DOuGhgiRLy
"Nintendo 64 is so much better. So what if they don't have as many games. How many games can you actually play?" -Hi hello1
"None of these systems are as good as the PC!!!! Almost every game for the PSX and the Saturn are out on the PC, many with better graphics, and you can mess with the PC version (a nice word for hack). And a lot of the N64 games are coming out on the PC with 3Dfx, which gives them better graphics (Turok and Shadows of the Empire are good examples). And best of all, the PC has more companies, so they get more games, and they have been out for a lot longer. And to sum it all up, the PC has mutiplayer options, which exceed the others. If you don't think so, play War2 or C&C on the PSX, with no mulitplayer options, and see how fun it is compared to being Grunt rushed on Kali." -Zodgrod12

geek humor: Is Windows a Virus?
submitted by JKS106@AOL.com
===================================================
Windows isn't a Virus, But lets compare the two...
1.
Viri: They replicate quickly
Windows:replicates quickly.
2.
Viri:Use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so
Windows: Is also very good at that.
3.
Viri:Will, from time to time, trash your hard drive
Windows:Trashes hard drive every 2 months.
4.
Viri: Are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems.
Windows: Does that too.
5.
Viri: Will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see #2)
and the user will buy new hardware.
Windows: Thats with Windows, too.
Until now it seems Windows is a virus, but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact, and efficient, and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
So, in conclusion, Windows is not a virus.
