Hurry up and wait some more. Microsoft plans to hold off on SMS 2003 until September. Evidently the product still needs some work, but some customers say they'll manage -- it's better to wait a little longer than to get a problematic product.

ASK ED TITTEL
Too old for IT?
Dear Ed:
I'm an old contract telephone engineer who can't find a job. In your opinion, can I benefit from the MCSE CD-ROM offered by WhatIs.com -- i.e., do you think I can become certified? And, if I actually become certified, do you think I could have gainful employment in the IT field even at the youthful age of 61?

Rock, paper, scissors champ handed $1,200
![]()
Unemployed Web site operator Pete Lovering may not be working right now, but he's hardly sitting on his hands. Lovering is the World Rock Paper Scissors Society's first international champ. You could say he won hands down, or you might elect to avoid using such an obvious pun. Lovering got the upper hand on more than 250 other hand-to-hand combatants at the Toronto competition. His winning hand helped him grab $1,200 in prize money, a video game system and a gold medal. Not bad for a job seeker who needed a handout.
