Reminds me a bit of when TPUG in Toronto used to set up entire Commodore PET rigs in coffee shops. For reference, a Commodore PET weighs about 25 pounds, and is the size of a toilet bowl. Double all that if you want to use a floppy disk.

Having used a Commdore PET, I cannot stop laughing at this size comparison.

It reminds of the observation that some people will go to great lengths to avoid the metric system.
