Who writes 800 Gigs as .8 TBs?

I suppose I have .6 TBs in my desktop and .06 TBs in my laptop, then.

I'd say TB will become everyday usage (as in, wrt customers at Best Buy) within 3 years.

See, now if I had >=1024 Gigs, THEN I would write TB, sure.

When 256MB RAM was standard, you rarely saw people write that they had .25 or later .5 GBs.

It's seriously not a big deal, I just found your use of the nomenclature interesting.
 
You go ahead and play with your toys and books. I'll be over here nailing Alba and Portman. 🙂

Inspired by Opteron Guy's thread, I wonder if ATOT thinks I'm spoiled.

$300 desk, with $20 addon (the round one)
Desktop: 2500+ Barton, Geforce4 MX, 160 GB HDD
Lappy: ultraportable for $1100
Books
More Books: Donald Knuth isn't cheap
Even More Books: Textbooks are $100 a pop
Server: 0.8 TBs of storage, mostly used by me
Networking equipment: That's an $80 switch and a $250 printer
Sonata II Case: $90

Stats of me:
16 years old/ Junior at HS
My work ethic is terrible
I don't work, all the previous were paid by parents

Where's the vote for who cares?

thats not too bad i guess.

i pay for all my computer equipment though coz i have expensive taste. my rents bought me a car (£2400) but it really wasnt just coz i wanted one, it was more like they wanted me to have one so they wouldnt have to take me to school everyday or take me training everynight. my rents already run around like crazy looking after my gran, so it was more like a weight of their shoulders....and i use the car an awful lot (pay my own fuel though) done 25K miles in 2years.
