  It's a BIG calculator. The CPU looks like a huge Commie 64 and weighs
about 80 pounds. The monitor adds about 50 pounds more. Then add in a
couple of 8" disk drives at 35 pounds each and a HP-IB plotter that weighs
100 pounds and is the size of a kitchen table. Well you get the idea! Of
course since it's HP-IB, there's all kinds of interesting peripherals and
instruments you can hang on it.
