Although I have a lot of old heavy DEC equipment to move. I do have a thirty
year old son, six feet four tall, 220lbs and a qualified weight lifting
instructor. He knows what I can lift safely or if I wait he will move up to
his limit. As with anything "If you aren't sure get someone who is"

Whether one agrees or not, one has to admire the
seriousness and
decisiveness. However, I'll remind myself to steer clear of any
requests from Tony to help move/rescue large computer equipment. I'm
most assuredly not that extreme.
Actually, AFAIK nobody has been injured (even in a minor way) when
helping me (or when I've benn helping them) to move big iron. The reason
is I don't try to exceed what's sensivly possible, I am not afraid to
take machines apart into small, easilly moveable parts. I certianly
wouldn't try moving a rack cabinet full of computer stuff without a _lot_
of thought.
