    re -1.
    
    yes, yes, and yes.
    
    BTW: The Canadian Museum of Civilization is currently under development
    in collaboration with Digital.
    
    I would give out the url's for these sites, but it's always more fun
    to find them yourself.  
    
    Ones of the best (and fastest) search engines can be found at
    http:/www.opentext.com.  It was developed at The University of
    Waterloo.

    Actually, there's a link to the Museum of Civilization (and more of the
    known Northern/Western CyberWorld) from Canadiana.  A rich lode!

    Digital Canada is one of the sponsors of the Molson Indy in Vancouver
    1-3 September, 1995.
    
    WWW pages mentioning Digital are in place:

    The text of the press release follows:
    
       
    
      Digital Equipment of Canada Limited is partnering with EDS
      Motorsports to provide the official EDS Timing and Scoring
      System at this year's Molson Indy Vancouver during the
      Labour Day Weekend. Earlier this summer in Toronto's Molson
      Indy, and for the first time at any IndyCar event, the
      attendees were able to access real-time race statistics in
      the Executive Pit Suite. Up until this event, access to the
      real-time Timing and Scoring data had only been available to
      race officials, the media, and the race teams in the pits.
    
      Through use of Digital Equipment's Venturis 575 PCs on a
      Fibre Optical and Ethernet network connected to a feed
      provided by EDS to their race server, Digital is able to
      provide access to access to the EDS Timing and Scoring
      real-time data to attendees in all Pit Suites throughout
      the weekend event in Vancouver. Executive Pit Suite attendees
      will be able to view up-to-the minute information, which
      adds to the involvement and enjoyment of the race activities.
      It also demonstrates a working partnership between EDS and
      Digital to deliver this solution in an environment hostile
      to electronic equipment.
    
      The timing and scoring system developed by EDS provides
      immediate access to nearly every aspect of the operation of
      of an IndyCar while functioning in one of the world's most
      hostile testing environments for technology. The EDS system
      system allows the viewer real-time access and details to
      driver position, lap and speed, number of pit stops and laps,
      time and distance between drivers, and the distance a driver
      is from the leader. The system which operates by placing a
      a transmitter in each car, also provides historical data and
      general information on each driver and team, as accurate as
      .0001/second.
    
      The network receives data that is transmitted from the cars
      to seven time lines embedded in the track, then it processes
      the information and immediately delivers it to race officials,
      teams, media and fans in real time. The recipients can then
      view and/or configure data in a variety of ways to suit their
      individual purposes. The EDS system uses wireless technology
      for the distribution of data and the information can be
      accessed by use of a laptop PC.
    
      "The decision to partner with Digital to provide the EDS
      Timing and Scoring System to the Executive Pit Suites was
      simple. We knew we could rely on Digital to do the job right,"
      said Susan M. DiCosmo, project manager for Motorsports at EDS.
      "This involvement by Digital to provide EDS data in an easy-
      to-view format to Pit Suite attendees greatly assists in
      enabling the viewer with the knowledge how competitive
      IndyCar is, and keeps those attendees, who may be potential
      sponsors or future business partners, directly involved with
      the fast moving activities trackside."
    
      "This business partnership between Digital Equipment of
      Canada and EDS Motorsports to provide their Timing and
      Scoring System data to the Pit Suites gives me the opportunity
      to invite guests that are not avid IndyCar fans and within
      minutes increase their knowledge and enjoyment of the sport
      exponentially. By providing this service to all the Pit
      Suites, Digital is able to show our customers and future
      business partners that we are able to work successfully in
      a hostile environment, and can provide the products and
      technical expertise to maintain such projects." said Ron
      Catcheside, Canadian communication manger, Digital Equipment
      of Canada. "This on-going partnership with EDS to provide
      this service has proven to be successful."
    
      EDS is a leader in the global information services industry.
      The company's 80,000 employees specialize in applying a
      range of ideas and technologies to help business and
      government customers improve their economics, products,
      services and customer relationships. EDS, which operates in
      40 countries, reported revenues of $10.5 billion in 1994.
      EDS Motorsports, a division of EDS is the Official Information
      Technology Provider to IndyCar.
    
      Digital Equipment of Canada Limited, a wholly subsidary of
      Digital Equipment Corporation with a revenue of $14 billion,
      and its Partners provide industry leading client/server
      solutions to business across Canada. Digital's Alpha
      platforms, personal computers, networking products and
      services, together with industry-focused solutions from
      business partners, help organizations compete and win in
      today's global marketplace. In addition to facilities across
      Canada, the company has a major manufacturing and R&D
