SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
Problems with an automated baggage-handling system controlled by 100
computers is delaying the opening of Denver's new airport. It's the first
such system to serve an entire airport, the first to be run by distributed
desktop computers, and the first to use radio links. Despite his woes, the
contractor says the project's worth it: "Who would turn down a $193 million
contract? You'd expect to have a little trouble for that kind of money."
