Doug, thanks for sending this to the list. I’ve reached out to Rob as I’m within ‘striking distance’. We’ll see what happens. 

Thanks- C.

This means that you can stow the computer + table in a vehicle and put the Flexowriter on the floor between the table legs.  The flexowriter itself weighs 132 pounds.  I'd be surprised if the table plus computer weighed less than that, so you're talking about a total shipping weight of close to 300 pounds.
