WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. Your poll on Mac vs.PC can't work. More people own PC's, and more people on AOL have PC's. Since you'll usually like what you own it's obvious that the PC is going to win.

I like Youth Tech a lot. I like Geek Humor the best, but I just think the name is too corney. Why don't you have a contest for a new name. That would be cool. All though I don't have any ideas, I'm shure someone else out there does.
We'd be happy to hear of your ideas to rename Geek Humor!! Send em to us @ YTCCNews.

Just wanted to say that even though I may be one of the "elder statesmen" of the group (I'm 18), I really enjoy the vibrant youthfulness of YT magazine. I especially think the format is well-put-together. Keep it coming!

=====the millenium bug=======================================
A future disaster?
By YTCCBlast@AOL.COM
========================================================================
As another New Year rings in, the media is beginning to talk more and more about the Millenium Bug and the problem it poses for businesses and individuals everywhere. This bug is a small glitch in many of today's computer software that mistakenly recognizes the year 2000 as 1900.
The effects of the Millenium Bug can already be seen today. Credit cards, for example, that expire in the first year of the new millenium are now rendered useless because cashiers think they're already expired. This bug also threatens business records and many other items. The world fears that this bug may cause an international disaster and ruin computer-run businesses and even the stock market.
Business, programmers, and other individuals are scrambling to fix this malfunction as the new millenium nears.
What will happen? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we want YOU to SPEAK OUT on how you think the Millenium Bug will affect YOU!
