    Gee I didn't found them that heavy.

      Next week he'll tell us it went back in time and turned into an NP120. Now thats heavy

        He must be a lightweight with cheap desks, or they are warped by all his ink refills that spilled over.
        Why do they call it common sense?

        If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

          In a non-technical (Layman's) language, it is the MATERIALS used in making the machine which makes it heavy or light. And this is decided in the factory by a group of people called 'DESIGN ENGINEERS',who have Imaginations on how the machine should work in real life.
          -They then make a drawing of the machines on papers, after making a few mathematical calculations to determine its specifications, based on, the parameters such as the physical, thermal & electrical properties of the materials required for the machine to work to the required standard.
          -The designer's Imaginations are based on the physical Laws of Nature, design manipulations using complex mathematical techniques. The DESIGN WORK is then forwarded for production and manufacture.

          -In short, quality of the materials used---Thick & heavy or Thin & light, which ultimately determines the weight is determined at the design stage by the designers, based on Scientific CALCULATIONS to meet the REQUIRED PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS of the machine in question.

          -These facts should be obvious to any trained and qualified technician. All other explanations of non-technical nature are secondary.

              You guys forgot about the operator manuals. That is why they never get used, too heavy to pick up.

                Anyone with even an elementary knowledge of physics will tell you that it's simply the fact that black toner is made of dark matter.

                    It's why they haven't found the Higgs Boson yet - they are all hiding in aab1's printer!!!

                      Personally I think they just make up shit and then say " That looks pretty, sell it. "
                      I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                            I stand corrected.

                              WHAT ????? There are so many ones and zeros in a PDF that they must weigh something.........

                                This thread has been great to follow... I'm just waiting on aab1's next "brilliant" question/statement thread to start.
