No one would be daft enough to leave all that data uncompressed, so 1GB is more like 5000 good sized books. 160GB is thus enough storage for 800,000 good sized book. A dedicated full time speed reader could read about 40,000 good sized books in a lifetime if they didn't have to work/sleep or rest their eyes. On this basis 10GB should be enough for anyone - or is there more to life than books? -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
