My home NAS in the other room could hold about 350 million C64 floppies. I've sometimes wondered how that compares to the world's floppy disk manufacturing capacity in 1982.

I also appreciate that my Internet connection is about 33 million times faster than my first modem. It'd take me over a year to download what I can slurp in about 1 second now, even if I could afford the 7 thousand floppies it'd take to store it.

Progress, yo.
