It was even more impressive if you were accustomed to a one-ton SPARCstation pizzabox with a hulking two-ton 21" CRT on top of it.

(There were soon third-party SPARCstations in normal laptop form factors, but then how would bystanders know you were using a SPARCstation. You might as well put a Ferrari in a Prius shell.)
