Reminds me of when me and a few friends moved another friend's desktop with CRT monitor accross Stockholm, during rush hour, in a snow chaos, using public transport.

I remember carrying the CRT monitor walking in a crowd when I feel myself slipping on the hard packed snow, I didn't fall but I did glide with little ways of stopping.

Haha, I remember taking my desktop and 19" CRT in my newspaper trolley to LAN parties in snow in Norway. The cover was great, but I also remember that my computer was driven to my house afterwards. I was too tired to drag it up the hill after not sleeping for days lol. Good times 🙂
