Cost issues aside, I wonder what the average file size

comparison of "number of average-sized files that can fit on a disk" might
be interesting.
For this desktop my average size is 236KB, so it's "about" a million files
on the machine's 250GB disk. I wonder if that number's stayed reasonably
constant across the decades?
It would be interesting, but I'd guess the average file size at the
time that disk came out was significantly more then ten bytes!
