>From Forbes magazine, 11 June 2001, page 55, an article on Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard. "HP says that, industrywide, customers will need 57 exabytes (or 57 billion billion bytes) of capacity. By comparison, all the words ever spoken equal no more than 4 exabytes." There is no indication of the time frame for the need for 57 exabytes. Nonetheless, it is a pretty interesting figure. Jim Elwell
