this internet info thing is making joke telling difficult! Yes it does make things difficult. I was jokingly flattering you with the big brain comment. At the same time comparing the bigger is better misconception some have with the size brains and the comparison to laptops (i.e. a heavier laptop is smarter than a lighter brain) and usual comparison of unmentionables. Not sure it came thru as intended, but no personal swipe was intended whatsoever. (The only reason I looked up the weight of a brain was I recall a book or video with partial title "the three pound universe" and wanted to do my own fact checking.) As far as practical comparison to actual items, the Dell use of a gallon of milk/water that weighs a little more than 8 pounds is actually quite practical (especially for those used to carrying around gallons of liquids). With typical lighter weight laptops weighing in around half a gallon and heavier ones under 1 gallon. The superultralightweights are getting close to a quart of milk or liter of water (which I could almost carry around all day). Meanwhile, the ultraheavy category has gone quite a bit over that gallon.
