And as it reluctantly approaches maturity, MySpace has new challenges to face, securing advertisers and innovating new features chief among them.

A small hospital might have to spend a few million dollars to buy and install new technology; a large one could require hundreds of millions. And more than 30% of hospitals had doubts about ever getting a return on that investment. The government's bailout money helps, but $19 billion divided among just the 3,000 hospitals that answered the survey would mean a little more than $6 million apiece - plenty for some, not nearly enough for others.
