Completely OT but what the heck: :-)

I built a 12TB FreeNAS Storage box for the home and dared the wife to
fill it with content. For purposes of illustration I told her that this
was an awful lot of data - 1357 raw DVD movie rips for example.

"Go for it honey!" I said thinking the myself "She will NEVER fill that,
or even come close!"

The joke's on me. After 6 weeks, she's halfway there  ^_^
