Apple IIGS and my Amdahl

I have to say that I greatly And the Amdahl has a lot of both :) I have underestimated the weight of equipment before. For example, the Burroughs B80. I initially though - gee, this looks bulky, but it's got a printer in one side, can't be that heavy - there's all that empty space. Wrong... The CPU side was crammed full of heavy transformers and stuff. Getting it in and out of the van was a huge task. (the getting in part made immensely easier with a forklift...) Also, first glance at a CDC disk pack drive and I figured "well, that probably weighs a good 200 pounds, can't be that heavy". Well, it was beyond heavy, into the realm of "are you sure it's not welded to the floor". Bringing that load (two CDC drives, 5 ft rack, misc stuff), I managed to split a bushing in one of the shocks on the van. The worst part was that I didn't realize just how heavy they were until I got them home and tried to get them out of the van. They were loaded with a ramp and a loading dock. And now I had to somehow get them out... -Ian
