Tera anyone?

Wow! First there was the megabytes, then the gigabytes, and before you know it, now it's the terabytes!!! Such capacity being made available to the man on the street, where none was possible previously.

And how much is a terabyte? It's a trillion (1,099,511,627,776) bytes or 1024 gigabytes. Or a million million!

Boggles the mind. But the financial markets are also seeing such numbers being thrown around. Scary indeed.

I can't think of so big a number... yet. Have just gotten used to the gigabytes on my PC.
