"A pint is a pound, the world around." is no longer true. Not just the
price of beer not being a pound per pint, but the unit of measure.
And pluto is no longer a planet.
Perhaps we should go get 44 pints of beer in UK and 55 pints of beer
in USA. Once we drink them all, we'll have a better perspective on the

25Kg is definitely in range for a complete microcomputer, or components of
a minicomputer. Or minimal documentation for a system.
