"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. Dale :-) :-)
