Caveat: How much does the internet weigh?

Sun Microsystems, working with Internet Archive (the people who host the "wayback machine" which is basically a historically aware copy of the entire internet all the way back to 1996), has packed the whole thing into a single shipping container full of servers.  According to the article at the Reg, that means that there's a copy of the entire internet in that box.   That's pretty cool.  And that means you could put the entire internet (well, a copy of it) on the back of a truck.  Or store it somewhere safe.  Or launch it into space for some future alien civilization to try to make sense of.
