Not to mention that it's very difficult to travel with a monitor,

WIMP! In the late 60's, early 70's, I traveled with a - core-memory -
computer and a ASR-33 Teletype! :-)

The car (similar to this one):

And back then (when dinosaurs still roamed the planet, like your gear)
the airlines weren't charging by the bag and for carry-on luggage, the
seats were wider, they served meals, and a reservation was as good as a
booking where you weren't vulnerable to getting booted due to
overbooking. Back then, cars were made to survive crashes (but the
occupants were considered expendable). Now the occupants survive and
it's the car that doesn't.

Yeah, they don't make them like they used to ... thank God!
