I'm still think it's 42. It's just the units which are changing every time ... everything is relative, so I'd say it's 42 pipowollz

Well, my 60gb drive is mostly full, if that's any help in figuring this out.

"42" is a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". It was the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything.... Cult show kinda thing...

well if 20 million people all had 2o gig hard drives that were all full
we would have 400000000gb worth of data. And since thats not counting servers or people that have 4 hard drives in each machine. i'd say that we have exactly "Enough".

What if your answer included the intended amount of data that you answer would be.

Also you would have to ask yourself.. are we counting all original data or also redundant data... like every single Windows CDROM with the same data on it?
