Yeah, that's true. What you can buy today is gigantic compared to what was available
not so long ago but now everything is digitized so stuff we used to keep on paper and
video tape or 8 tracks and film negatives is now on the hard drive. There's never
enough room any more and there probably won't ever be again.

I couldn't mirror it on one of my Sun boxes, the biggest drive I have

Well, I suppose it depends on your usage. To me, an 80G drive is
huge; I can't generate relevant content fast enough. To someone who
stores movies on their hard drive, it's unbelievably small. My
friend who's a photographer keeps buying TB drives to hold his work.
