You just need to put it on a truck:

But it would be interesting to know how many pounds of thrust it develops.

Anybody remember "Terminator II" or "Predator"? They had guys
holding
those things in their hands. I find that exceedingly implausible, even
for Ah-nold. ;-)

It's fascinating what shows up in the "Other selections" part:

First, those are not hardware diagnostics. Those are Windows
diagnostics. It is an HP. That means the computer manufacturer was
more responsible - provided a comprehensive hardware diagnostics that
give numbers and detailed messages. If you don't post those numbers
and messages, then the few who can actually answer you question will
not post.

Only one disk drive computer controlled both drives. If either
drive is defective, then the one computer will report a failure. Is
the defect in drive two but you keep replacing drive one (because
drive one controls drive two)?

Second reason for failure are completely and always defective power
supply voltages. Completely defective power supply will boot a
computer. Then strange things happen once every month. Does that
sound like your computer? Sound means nothing. Again, you need
numbers. Voltage measurements are the only way to identify that
reason for a failure.

Heat is not a problem. Your computer must be in love when the room
is 100 degrees F. A computer that is failing in a 70 degree room does
not have a heat problem. It has a hardware problem. How to find a
completely defective machine? Operate it even in a 100 degree room.
If it fails, a hardware problem probably exists - another reason why
more responsible computer manufacturers provide comprehensive hardware
diagnostics.

Now, step back. Is your problem with hardware or software? Windows
does little to find hardware failures. Windows works around hardware
failures - does everything it can to ignore those problems. However
Windows also has system (event) logs so that months after a problem
occurs, then a hardware guy can identify the problem. What (exactly
letter by letter) does each failure message in those logs say?

Both are kind of HEAVY for riding around.

One of the Arab states that had a war with Israel had nifty little Russian
supplied anti-tank missile that was carried by infantry in a rucksack.

Shouldn't be significant recoil-- it's the exhaust that propels a
rocket.

Wear a leather jacket with the emblem of a particularly nasty outlaw
