RE: md software raid

I was thinking 300dpi on letter paper gives you about 1mbyte, and you'd bloat it by 2x for redundancy, using both sides of the paper.
But I guess 300 dpi is actually 300 dots per square inch, not 300 per linear inch, which means its only 10s of k per page.

I'm guessing you could get about a megabyte per sheet of paper this way.

	You've got to be kidding!  At 72 points/in, a font size of 8 allows
for one byte and one space per inch, or about 10 bytes per line.  One can
fairly easily display 1KB per page, but nowhere near 1MB.

So a 1TB drive would take up 1000000 sheets of paper. Looking at
staples.com,

	Make that more like a billion pages.  Remember, the entire Library
of Congress can fit on a 1T drive.

it looks like that would cost you in the neighborhood of $8000. The ink
cartridges

	It's more like $8 million.
