Hi,
Do you see the "Catia" sponsoring? Catia is known in the engineering and manufacturing market as the nr1 application, espacially in the Airplane-sector.
Further; it runs on IBM (IBM owns it) and on SGI (SGI supplies and is sponsoring Arrows). As we all know by looking at the tiny Mclaren sponsorerd Mirrors; Mclaren uses SUN-sytems...
How can that be??

I wouldn't assume that because a sponsors name is displayed that that company's products are used on the car. Mercedes is the title sponsor for the team and as far as I know Mercedes has no input whatsoever other than financial input into the team. I'm sure McLaren would vehemently deny it, but my guess is that the engine is pure Ilmor and Mercedes sole function is to write checks.
Also the exhaust system appears to me to be made of steel of some sort as the discoloration from heat looks very much like what I've seen on steel exhausts before.

Johan-I think you are correct as far as the Ilmor/Mercedes thing, but for the record, West is the title sponsor of McLaren.

I would be very suprised if CATIA doesn't run on SUN hardware. SUN is one of the largest suppliers of workstations, so a lot of software will be available for it.

We have Catia V5 (pc-based) at the university and it is a coplete mess!
During for instance a session of 30 min it shuts off automaticly without warning perhaps 5 times, quite anoying

That comment reminds me of the reply from GM when told they should be as efficient at Microsoft...
Some of the points were: "Our cars don't shut down half way through a trip and refuse to respond to all attempts to restart them."
and: "When you want to turn the motor off you don't have to use the starter again."
There was a page full of this stuff, I guess it's done the rounds.
