    Big Grin ROFLcopter of the day ! -> Hard Drive weight increase with More data ...LOL

    Apologies if this is the incorrect area for this question.

    I've noticed that as I copy data/install programs on my Laptop, the weight of the Laptop increases. I have a bad back and am medically limited on the amount of weight I can carry so I need to be very carefull not to inflict injury upon myself.

    I have also noticed my XBox feels heavier as well (the more games I save or purchase from arcade). I generally don't travel with my XBox so that is not an issue for me, but note the I am having the same results.

    My ask, what is the weight/file ratio? So for example, how many GB's = 6oz? I dread the day I need a dolly to commute to work with my Laptop.


    Thanks in advance!

    I think that is just foolishness.


    See what some one says there.
    The weight gain is not in the Xbox & Laptop, it is in *you* from all that junk food you are pigging out on while playing way too many games for way too many hours on your Xbox & Laptop.

    Imagine the poor 'gamers'. All of those bytes in their DVD player get copied to RAM, and some of them copied again onto their graphics card. Better put some braces on those table legs!

    Data is a weightless thing but it occupies space.
