According to my calculations (base 2) his table is 16,192 gigabytes! I do not know how much a terabyte is, because it is not used commonly yet. However, putting this quantity in more commonly used measurements:

at 40 Gb per disk (I just bought one for my home PC) nowadays, that table would be using at least 405 of them. Now it does not look much does it?
