DG goes the sustainer option.

Right. Although the usage of the term seems valid in this sustainer
application as well. I'm not sure how the term is viewed in Germany, but
here in the US it has been abused in many ways (that is, used to describe a
product that has absolutely nothing to do with a turbine. Turbo Tax,
anyone?). Sometimes I think that if I had a cat that I wanted to sell I
would call it a "turbo cat". ;-)
