	We have a GRiD laptop at work for a job we are doing for a government
facility. It has one of those Magnesium cases and IS designed to withstand
a whole lot of G shock.....BUT it weighs a TON as laptop standards go. I
think it probably even weighs a least twice as much as the original Mac
Portable!!
