LEAD STORY

BIG BLUE TO KICK ISERIES PARTITIONING UP A NOTCH | News: The Four 
Hundred

Sources say IBM plans to significantly expand the number of 
logical partitions that an iSeries server can support. IBM's plans 
reportedly call for the support of up to 255 logical partitions on a 
single machine, which is considerably larger number than the 32 
partitions that are supported on today's top-end, 24-way iSeries 
Model 840 server.

THE MISSING LINK | Wisconsin man kills computer

Ever since the economy turned south, gloom and doomers have 
foretold the death of the PC. They were right -- at least in this 
case. A Wisconsin man, soured by his lemony computer, took it back 
to the store, brandished a sledgehammer, and smashed the PC to 
pieces. He looked at the other customers, wished them "good day," 
walked over the computerized carcass and out the door. The 
sledgehammer, which worked like a charm, was not injured. Why was 
this PC such a smash hit? The man said he had taken it back to the 
store five times to be fixed, but the thing still didn't work 
right. His computer catharsis may have given him some satisfaction, 
but it also got him a voided warranty and a disorderly conduct 
charge.
