[olug] [OT] What do YOU do with a 70lb switch?

[Jay Swackhamer]

While I wouldn't want to ship one, the specs say that they are only  
56lbs fully loaded, and after moving quite a few of them, I'd say that  
you are over estimating the weight.

An end table would be a good idea. If you could find another one, you  
could make a coffee table.

Though it would only be cool if they were powered up and  
functional.....not only cool, but warming space heaters also......

I sold the last ones I had via craigslist, not too long  
ago....somewhere around $20-$40 .....
