Personal computers can be moved by one person, possibly in more
than one trip.

Minicomputers can be moved by two or three people at once (again
the number of trips unspecified)

Mainframes need a SERIOUS forklift to be moved.

It is usually easier to move the building than to move
a supercomputer.
