Hard Drive Weight Increasing…
“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 careful 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 that I am having the same results.
My question is, what is the weight/file ratio? So for example, how many GB’s = 6 oz? I dread the day I need a dolly to commute to work with my laptop.
Thanks in advance!”
God knows whether the person asking this question suffered from bad back or some other disease. But this question was raised on one of the Microsoft forums.
Some took it seriously while others just enjoyed and kept quiet. Some said, it was not possible while others proposed their own theories. But here’s the reply I found most humorous:
“I am glad you brought this up actually.
I don’t think this is just a technology problem. The other day, I was reading one of those MS press books (one of the thick ones) and towards the end of the book (after reading it for about 3 hours), I wanted to get up for a glass of water and use the toilet eventually. But, here’s when a strange thing happened. As i was about to get up (I usually read in bed) my head was so heavy that I couldn’t get up. I roughly estimate the wheight increase ~564.32 grams.
Well, I attributed this phenomenon to the amount of information that got stored in my brain during that time (Notice the similarity there ? )
I eventually fell asleep and when I woke up a few hours later to take the MS exam guess what? My head was light again, and I consequently failed the exam as I couldn’t remember anything I read in that book.
Based on my experience, what I would suggest, is turn the laptop off, leave it like that for a few hours and then you can carry it around without risking to break your back. You might risk to lose your data but hey, your health is more important.
I hope that helps.”
