I just looked... 28Kg... Does everything made by HP have to weigh so much? Did they have a disposal contract with Sellafield?

My shack/workshop has 2" fire doors on 2-drawer filing cabinets for benching. It wont collapse. But I might.

The DG8SAQ (N2PK-type) VNA looks more attractive, despite it still needing a PC for interfacing. It is £400+ and Xmas is a long way off.
