You must be joking.  ;D

I agree if you only have basic Word dokuments. Besides having all my CD's in ape format I have a lot of AVI and mpeg files.
Because I dance and teach I have a lot of clips of me, performances, turnpatterns I teach and other things dancerelated stuff. I haven't mentioned my 8MP foto's yet.

Even if I wouldn't be doing this I would need more then a lousy 40GB.  :-\

Ok, I confess so the last time I said that was 1989 or something...

Didn't even know what a gigabyte was then!

Well...size is relative (just ask Homer)...

Bart vs Australia...the episode where Bart calls a Australian family long distance collect and the Aussie government gets involved...Bart loses his pet frog when they get there which breeds and overruns the country

Scene: The family decides to eat a little at a local pub.

Homer: [to bartender] Hey! Give me one of those famous giant beers I've heard so much about.
[bartender puts a huge beer in front of him]
Bartender: Something wrong, yank?
Homer: No.  It's pretty big...I guess.
Marge: I'll just have a cup of coffee.
Bartender: Beer, it is.
Marge: No, I said "coffee".
Bartender: "Beer"?
Marge: [slowly] Coff-ee.
Bartender: Be-er?
Marge: C -- O --
Bartender: B -- E --
