  Several peole on this list have already stated that they knew people that
hauled one around so there's no question that they were portable. There's
a big difference between being "expected" to lug one around and being able
to lug one around. Moving a 5100 is nothing compared to moving a water
cooled computer that occupies 3 or 4 racks and requires 3 phase 416V power.
 That's why it was called a portable.
