When companies do buy new gear, they are rapidly downsizing, junking their mainframes in favor of smaller, more flexible workstations, made by companies like Sun Microsystems. Because of this shift, mainframe sales are expanding only about 5% annually, less than half the rate of a few years ago. Says Rod Canion, president of Houston-based Compaq: "The rules are changing, and it's very difficult for the big-computer makers to accept." At the other end of the spectrum, some PC makers are getting hit with a different problem: a glut of machines. Says Michael Dell, who heads an Austin...

As Lotte Lenya taught a whole generation of admirers, Weill's heroines should sound sexy, metallic and bitter...
