Stock car

Stock Cars

Hosted on the MAIN Web Site MAIN will provide hosting for free, but with some technological restrictions: no "whizbang" technology, no advanced Internet/Web features/functionality/CGI scripting, - just straightforward html presentation and URL/email links. MAIN provides public access to community information and aims to make all content accessible to the broadest number of people of all different abilities and to those with the barest minimum of computing technology available to them.

Formula 1

Full-blown Sun/Solaris hemi-engine, custom CGI carburetor, SGI, IBM/AIX, OS/2, Macintosh, UNIX, You Name It! The catch is: You design it, you host it, you support it! MAIN can't, and MAIN won't! The Web Design Team must provide an end-to-end, total life-cycle funding and technology plan for hosting, connectivity, access, maintenance, User support, etc. Obviously, big companies have an advantage in this category, but obviously also, participation in this category requires a major commitment.

Formula 1 race car

We'll soon see who's up to the final challenge!
