Airline companies are intently focused on efficiency, which means minimizing the amount of time a multimillion-dollar piece of equipment is on the ground.

...Nintendo 64--a game system that is scheduled to be unveiled in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, marketed in Japan in June and arrayed on U.S. store shelves in September--represents a multimillion-dollar gamble by the company that practically owned the hearts and minds of the video game-playing world for much of the 1980s--until they were stolen in 1991 by Sega and a speedy blue hedgehog named Sonic...
