I'm not that much into music; I hardly ever add to it. So 70gbytes of music doesn't impress me too much. (I know people who work in a music industry, and at least one of them has over a terabyte of music in his iTunes library. And a large selection of iPods.)

(I'm more of an Indie man, myself, but herself doesn't think much of music later than 1791, with the exception of her beloved Beatles.)

Mili Popova pointed out that you would no doubt have interesting things to say on the subject, and suggested that I ask you. So, I'd be very grateful if you (and perhaps some of the other folks around here?) were to comment.

It's Bob's first real management job -- handling a very small team of rabid wildcats on the kind of operation that gives sane intel officers screaming nightmares for years afterwards, if they survive. Graydon: prod me via email if you want in on the beta test list.)
