Seoul, once a city for kings, can now claim to be a city for commuters.    The third nation in the Orient to develop an underground rapid-transit system, Korea opened its first line in 1974.    After 12 years of continuing construction, Seoul had finally completed the rest of its extensive subway system, capable of serving 5 million commuters a day.
The 73-mile-long system, the world's seventh largest, is expected to alleviated the acute daily traffic congestion downtown.    For an estimated '2.7 billion, the city has built one of the most modern subways in the world, replete with air-conditioning, high-tech ticket machines and escalators to deep-level stations.    The subway stops, bucking an international tradition of dull concrete walls, are attractions themselves: many are lined with shopping arcades, others sponsor art exhibits and several have been blasted out of granite and left in their natural state, creating an eerie, cavelike effect.
The subway is a long-term solution to transit problems in a city that is bursting at the seams with 9.5 million people.    It is designed to encourage the growth of satellite cities along the lines that run outside the city proper.    Efficiency, safety and economy are the catchwords of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation, which handled construction and now manages the four lines.    But traditional concern for cleanliness adds to the popularity of this rapid mode of underground transportation.
Recently 20 young couples chose the subway as the site for their wedding ceremonies, proof that the system is heralding a new age of modern living for the inhabitants of the nation's capital.

Going on computer may be the toughest job a remodeling contractor ever does.    In order to make a conversion within a year, a company will need to make a major shakeup.    This does not mean it will take a year to start using the computer for one function such as estimating, accounting, or word processing.    The total conversion process will not be accomplished in a short period with little effort.    A contractor in Indiana recently said he wished someone had warned him about how tough it was going to be.    With an annual volume of more than '500,000 and a good staff in place he still had fear.
For effective use of the computer in a remodeling business, a complete change in methods of doing business usually is required.    All management staff must get involved.    Changes may include pre-selecting and standardizing products and systems, developing specifications, changing the estimating system, and requiring more detailed information on time card.    The list goes on and on.    Without the support and active leadership of top management, this process, in all likelihood, will be fought by employees and will fail.
It is true that a computer can save money by stepping up the speed of estimating and making job costing, bookkeeping, and accounting more efficient.    word processing will certainly reduce time in typing contracts, writing letters, and so on.    Still, most companies do not save money using the computer.    Once they have mastered the basic computer operation, they become so enthralled with its ability to do other things they never considered when it was purchased.
The computer business is changing so fast that a company on computer will want to spend money on the latest hardware, newest software, and so on.    that is the bad news.    The good news is that the computer simply revolutionizes the company's ability to manage and innovate.    The change in management methods, the ability to use numbers, and other new capabilities provide greater control over the company and allow it to grow and make more money.

D. several years
