[Not too
heavy?]
No, it's just actually not as heavy as it looks. Most of the insides are
air.
Well, that is true. Most big IBMs are that way. IBM still managed to use
some very heavy parts - heavy gauge steel chassis, big stiff transformers,
and disk drives with really big motors.
Still, once a computer tips the scale over 300 or so pounds, I consider it
heavy.
