According to Businessweek, Generation Y is defined as being "born during a baby bulge that demographers locate between 1979 and 1994, they are as young as five and as old as 20, with the largest slice still a decade away from adolescence. And at 60 million strong, more than three times the size of Generation X, they're the biggest thing to hit the American scene since the 72 million baby boomers.

Whoah, what a serious way to begin the week. By the way, the website looks very nice- clean and simple, but attractive especially with the icons. Let me know on the others, and I'll begin batch processing them.

As soon as Tambo gets back to me I'll let you know when we move ahead.

I, of course, think Gen Xers are better. We've got a sense of rebellion that Gen Y doesn't, and we have the advantage of not being raised on videogames and the internet, but still understanding them and taking advantage of them without being their slaves. You can count yourself as a member if you want. The years are fuzzy anyway.
