	Elements Of An Article.	An article in GCC needs to on something computer or Internet related. Obviously a brilliant piece on the inner workings of a lawn mower engine or how Moses saved his people can only be pertinent to a computer magazine if a major component of the narrative illustrates how a Pentium or the World Wide Web affects them profoundly. Just remember to include: "Who, What, Where, When and How Does what I am talking about Relate to Computers" and you'll do fine
	Tips On Topics	Some solid topical foundations for GCC include: Commercial Software, review and tutorial - what a particular program does, how much it costs, how easy is it to use, does it perform as advertised, did it do my job and if so how well.

	What You May NOT Do.	You may see an idea in the paper or in another magazine and be inspiredGo for it- that's fine. But research that material through several independent sources. *You may not, however, copy that source verbatim*. You may use the essential elements of information you have read or learned, but you must disclose the source of the material. It is better to convey your own thoughts, say it in your own words. If you cannot do so, Identify the source of the quote.
