You are right, 60GB doesn't look so big...


yep
and a 2tb hard drive for 20 years of 2mb or 5 years of 8mb= $92, not really breaking the bank for 5-20 years storage needs ($4.60-$19 a year)
You'll probably want to change your hard drive before it fills up anyway. They don't last forever.
yeo and in 2-5 years a 4tb-6tb will be under $100.. so scalability is not an issue
At least not when it comes to storage space.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W01HP4642$124 for 4tb.
Bandwidth OTOH... But I got an offer from my isp of a 500MB/50MB line for $99 a month. Not exactly cheap, but for a drooling nerd it's a "worthwhile investment".
