 JB>compatibles. And the world goes 'round! 

 TW> Even withiong the LINUX wrold that stuff goes on. When I had more
 TW> interest I attended several local LINUX users group meetings and got
 TW> an ear full of bickering between the Deban, Redhat etc, lovers.  :-)
 
How did Rodny King put it? "C-c-can't we ju-ju-ju-just get
along?" I guess the answer is "NO!"

 JB>Speaking of metallurgy, I heard today a F1 team is 
 JB>casting their transmissio
 JB>in titanium. Any concerns there for a foundry? They's still have to machine
 JB>and use diamond tip tools?

 TW> I also understand that machining Titanium is no fun. The work can
 TW> actualy catch on fire on you if you are not carefull.

The lubrication?

 TW> The titanium project that amased me is that the Russians built at
 TW> least one Submarine with a Titanium pressure hull. To me that is an
 TW> Unbelievable project.
