In 1988 I checked a Sun-3 workstation as baggage on a flight from LA to
Beijing (long story...) The airline shrink-wrapped the whole shmodz onto
a pallet for customs reasons, but I remember the second-heaviest (i.e.
expensive) component, after the monitor, was the box of printed manuals...
Online is wonderful.
