I've never heard of a tangible object's weight being quantified in a touchtone phone's keypad format. Since MS-Dos Calculator wouldn't accept a pound sign as-is, we tinkered with the code/resources and finally made it accept the '#' as a valid "number."

So to make a long story a little shorter; upon forcibly inserting our new "number" into Calculator, the terminal almost immediately went to the BSoD [prior to this event I had no idea non-Windows terminals even had a BSoD], and was closely followed by a clear weather lightning strike/power outage.

Thankfully the green fog that suddenly enveloped my property dissipated after an hour or so. Now I am just hoping the Latin speaking disembodied voices and mercaptan-reeking hellmouth will go away fairly soon and give me back my damn terminal. Also I wouldn't mind if I could have the former ¾ of my home back. Otherwise I'm going to really miss my NAS box and my wife/children...

Anyway, sorry I could not help solve your conundrum.
