...biggest final-day rally to win in 1999. London bookmakers have the U.S. as a 1-to-2 favorite. The Ryder Cup, though, pays little heed to rankings, to the routine par 72 and four rounds. It's a different ball game. In the three-day match-play format, each match is worth a point; the team with the most points wins. The first two mornings at the Belfry will feature fourballs - four two-on-two matches in which the golfers play their own balls, with the best on each side counting. After lunch, it's time for foursomes - also...
...three times the storage space. It can read older discs and is a cinch to use. Since Zips first appeared, though, the rewritable CD (CDRW) and external hard drive have moved into Zip's territory. Do you need the 750? Depends on how much you love the format. CDRW drives can be bought for half the price, and the discs offer nearly as much storage space (up to 700 MB) for a fraction of the cost (80[cents] vs. $12.49). Moreover, Panasonic is slated to release a memory card by year's end that will hold as much...

Being...
...single drove the chevy to the levee, and the levee is now officially dry. Following a 40% drop in 2001, sales of singles on CD and tape are down 67% so far in 2002, putting the format on the fast track to extinction. It's not just consumer apathy; many major labels have simply stopped manufacturing singles, which retail for about $4, figuring that if consumers really want to hear a song and have no other choice, they will just fork over $18.99 for an entire album. Some consumers have even resorted to downloading the songs they want for free...
...Swiss facing a rough ride? "In its present format, yes," Moser says. "This airline was created on a purely emotional wave of nationalism, with no sound business plan. One key shortcoming is that with 41 long-haul destinations, Swiss is too big for a small country." But Garelli says Swiss chose the right strategy. "There is no future for a small country if it cannot guarantee a certain number of international point-to-point routes," he says...
