 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Sega and Sony to Link Consoles Via Internet

 PROFILE
Sonic brings the 1950s dining experience to your car faster than you can say Dwight David Eisenhower. The largest chain of quick-service drive-ins in the US, Sonic owns or franchises more than 2,200 restaurants in 28 states (primarily in the South). Sonic restaurants offer such items as hamburgers, extra-long cheese coneys, tater tots, and cherry limeades. Customers order via intercom from a menu board located in each parking space, and carhops deliver the food in an average of four minutes -- just like the old days. Restaurants are required to participate in purchasing and advertising cooperatives to reduce costs.
