I remember Apple ads for the //c that said that the //c was portable, with a
little asterisk.  At the bottom of the page, it said something like
* (Don't you just hate asterisks?)  The //c weighs seven pounds.  Adding the
power supply, monitor, and several bricks will increase this weight.

No smiley, either.  I thought it was cute
