20-Yr-Old Compaq Laptop Is Still Crucial to Maintaining McLaren's race cars
https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/...on-dollar-cars
Amazing, the laptop outlived the manufacturer by more than a decade (Compaq was absorbed by HP in early 00s).

Thanks for this link. That's very funny, or at least odd. But the article gives a good, complete explanation of why.
I've always been rather curious about the tech hardware that's used to tune and support race cars and super cars. But you don't see as much these days as you did years ago. There don't seem to be as many tech hardware sponsors and technical partners in the paddock (of F1) as there used to be.
