Thanks for the numbers Chris! I guess I kind of anticipated that,
which is why I suggested using a compressed form, sort of like
zip/rar...

Though if the data is mostly multimedia, then I guess it's pointless.

Punch-cards, anyone?

I'm guessing you could get about a megabyte per sheet of paper this way.
So a 1TB drive would take up 1000000 sheets of paper. Looking at staples.com,
it looks like that would cost you in the neighborhood of $8000. The ink cartridges
would probably cost more, not to mention the cost of a place to store it :-)
