Is the Color Classic still "compact"?

I kept a Mac CLassic around for some time after I moved to an LC and then 
Linux because it was such a small package, and if nothing else, I thought 
I might use it as a terminal.  There's a lot to be said for having 
something you can move by just unplugging the mouse and keyboard, while 
separates make it more cumbersome. The Mac CLassic certainly didnt' take 
up much space, so I kept it until I realized I did drag home an early 
enough Mac Powerbook to do the same sorts of things, and the Powerbook of 
course takes up less space than the Classic.
