    Holy ----!!!
    I weighed less than that when I was born!
    I knock down pins on a long lane with balls lighter than that!
    I've got things on my desk labeled heavy duty lighter than that!
    When Chrysler introduced a new car in the 80s that wasn't quite a station wagon but was too small to be called a van, they called it the minivan.
    Now, in the new Millenium, Acer has a product that isn't quite a desktop, but it sure as heck can't be called a laptop, or a notebook as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps they should just call it the folding hernia, or the Wow I have more money than brains!

    ha ha! I find that number rather astonishing too. I love the bowling ball comparison, puts things in perspective for sure.

    Can you imagine the horrendous mess if this laptop accidentally falls to the floor? I mean, your floor would be destroyed!
