The answer is, it depends.  It depends on the type of files, of course.  :-)  For instance, jpegs are heavier than pdfs.

When I go through security at the airport, I like to check with the X-ray machine operator to see if my batteries are charged and if my disks need defragging.

They do say that when a battery is charged it appears darker, but they never let me look.

Snow?  What snow?  They said snow was a thing of the past due to CAGW.  They got that wrong too?

Hi All :)
    So, Denys, what was the answer and how did you explain/justify the answer to the non-technical on the weight of a tape reel with data versus no data?

P.S. as I sit in the office as everyone else calls in "working at home due to the impending snow storm :) " hehehehe

Funny!

Of course, punched cards and paper tape changed weight when used.....
