In the middle of a download, it's going at a leisurely 40MB/s, and I just flashed on the fact that the first hard drive I ever owned, a 5.25" Seagate 20MB in a 4.77MHz IBM PC clone, would have completely filled up in 1/2 sec*. It's right up there with the fact that you can get a cheap storage device smaller than your little fingernail that holds 50,000 times as much.
(*If of course, it had been capable of writing that quickly, which of course it wouldn't.)
