Stanford economist Timothy Bresnahan argues that this is more a problem with PCs than with large business computers, where upgrades are handled by professional managers. But changing systems can be a serious problem for medium-size businesses too. Insurance Management Associates, a commercial insurance brokerage firm, has just laid out more than $1 million to install a new computer operating system. In the Denver office alone, says president Robert Cohen, "we had 2,500 hours of training for 70 employees and kept the business running while handling the usual glitches and two-hour breakdowns, as well as the three days...

That means different lighting and a different rhythm, one that allows moments between lines to blossom. In the process Abrams and Reeves must resist the temptation to do multiple takes, which time and the budget simply won't allow...
Airline executives deny that they engage in anticompetitive practices, contend that individual horror stories don't reflect the industry's generally good service record and argue that the benefits of the hub system far outweigh its drawbacks. "It allows medium-size cities like Sacramento to have one-stop service to 200 cities," says American spokesman Chris Chiames. "If we didn't have the hub system," asserts Northwest spokesman Marta Laughlin, "we wouldn't have the number of passengers that are needed for the volume of service we offer. You pay a premium for convenience and accessibility...
