I want to purchase a new laptop and have it narrowed down to a few options.  I’m looking for the impossible backpacking laptop that’ll run CS5, oh well.  Anyway, I wasn’t sure how 3 pounds vs.  3.3 pounds vs. 5 pounds felt so I went into the R&D lab, grabbed a bunch of weights, massed them and started lifting various configs to see if I could feel the weight difference.

In the middle of trying to see if I could hold 3 lbs vs. 5 lbs in my arm pit a coworker walked in:
Him: What are you doing?
Me: Testing a laptop.
Him: Ok.  Break down your laptops and put them away when you’re done.

We’re all mad here…
