In an office, you care about how much space it takes up, at least you do if you have the most expensive office space in the world like in Hong Kong. In a small company you care because it's you that's going to carry the damn thing when you move office (rather than trust it to a mover who will treat it like a box of tinned soup). In a SOHO, it may not matter if you have an SUV, but if you have to walk for 15 minutes, catch a ferry and the subway to get to somewhere to get it fixed, you care. Having on previous occasions dragged around a Quadra 950 and a HPIII printer, and done damage to my aged fragile back in the process, I do notice how much equipment weighs. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
