Good Golly Ms Molly.

"and have been able to fabricate magnetic storage media with a density 
of 3.3 terabits per square inch."

What is there about 10 or 12 square inches for a 3.5" drive?  That's 
about 30TBs.  O_O  That would take me a while to fill up even if I had a 
really fast DSL line.  WOW !!

Hmmmm, NCIS, all the CSI's, Criminal Minds, Numb3rs, and lots of 
others.  Heck, I could cut off DirecTv then.  Just get that Hulu thingy 
and go nuts.  Does Hulu work with Linux?  Seems I read it doesn't.  
Anyway, still a LOT of shows.
