Question: Why do they have a shopping basket on their site when there
is no way to buy their products online? What does Catia cost, anyway?
Just curious.

Something over $16,000 a seat. It is not for the faint of heart, nor the
hobbyist. However, if you're planning to design an airliner (its original
market), it's the way to go.

Um, ouch?

Ever notice how the really expensive stuff, things with commas in
their prices, never seem to be priced online or in print? "Ask for a
quote" is the mark of the "too expensive" set, wot?

Yeah. I had to dig to find the price of a surf fishing reel the other day.
'Turns out it's $599. I had a feeling it was in that "if you have to ask..."
category.
