LEAD STORY

IBM REPACKAGES MODEL 250 | NEWS: iSeries Network 

IBM unveiled a handful of new iSeries hardware features. In 
addition, the company announced it would offer its entry-level 
model 250 in two configurations only instead of offering it custom 
made. Upshot: It's all about keeping things simple. (Free

THE MISSING LINK | Am I annoying or not?

Do you have some quality time to kill? Get ready to assassinate the 
hours with www.amiannoyingornot.com. This site is annoyingly 
addictive; it offers more than 3,500 celebrities for you to judge 
"annoying or not?" The site will throw up the "defendant's" picture 
along with reasons why he, she or they might or might not be 
annoying. Then you render your verdict with a click, after which 
you'll see how others have voted. Everyone from Willie Aames to ZZ 
Top is on there for you to judge. So far, a British DJ and 
Nostradamus are atop the annoying poll, while actresses Renee 
Zellweger and Sarah Michelle Gellar are among the least bothersome 
of the bunch.
