Title: What I saw............

Wow! Well here's the story. Okay, my dad works at Pratt & Whitney (part of United Technologies) So they have this take your son/daughter to school day. So I got to see the factory, the office, and a look at the new PW6000 commercial engine. So we got to my dads' office and saw this program at the computer. I asked my dad about it, so he went and got the guy that works there. It was a CAD program like truespace. It's Unigraphics, ever used it? It costs $10,000 dollars a month to rent! And it needs a special Sun workstation that costs $30,000 a month! But this is serious stuff. You can't just use it with a mouse and keyboard, you need a space ball. It was so cool, just had to post this.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Did you get to design the GTVA Colossus?  Come on, like Bush wouldn't cough up the cash to build the damn thing.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)

No, it falls under the category of "Space", which the American govenment seems to hate these days...
