YTCC Brain: First question... what is your most favorite thing to do on AOL?
YTCCChris: I do happen to like this one area, I think its called Youth Tech or somthin' like that
YTCC Brain: Oh yeah... I've heard of that place… but since you like this area known as "Youth Tech", what is your favorite subarea in that?
YTCCChris: Hmmm... It would have to be the chat shack : )
YTCC Brain: That's cool! :) You like chatting then I suppose? :)
YTCCChris: Yeah!
YTCC Brain: Since we are on the Topic of Youth Tech, when and why did you become a YTCC? :)
YTCCChris: Man! You ask me all the easy questions! Well, I first experience Youth Tech on eWorld, an old online service made by Apple. I found how great it was, and found out about signing up. Only then, there were about 10 people to a chat room <g> And that was on busy days!
YTCC Brain: Man... that sure has changed! <G> So... when did you become a YTCC? :)
YTCCChris: Hmm, cant remember the exact date, about 2 years ago!
YTCC Brain: That's cool! So… You like computers, right? :)
YTCCChris: Yep, something I could live without, but life is better with it!
YTCC Brain: Well since you like em... what do you think your dream computer would be? :)
YTCCChris: Oh, maybe a custom built Cray or two : )
YTCC Brain: Those would be nice! But now… enough about your online life… What are some of your hobbies offline? :)
YTCCChris: Hmm.... I like to play hockey and I like to play tennis and I like this and that... Enough Said : )
YTCC Brain: Oh yes... one last question.. what type of music is your favorite?
YTCCChris: Not really a favorite, but probably Christian Contemporary.
