But seriously, is it just me, or does it seem like HD technology is actually outpacing the needs of the average desktop user for once? I can remember when a gig seemed like an unreachable depth, but at least it was conceivable. I'm still using a 10Gb HD, which I've never come close to filling. I don't want to sound "Bill Gates"esque here, but who's really going to need 50 Gb *per platter* any time soon? Of course, if I had the bandwidth to fill this monster up with dirty pictures, look out!
Anyway, let me know when they go on sale so I can buy one.
