We're no longer talking about gigabytes. Even with just the complete SIX-man
we're no longer talking about gigabytes. Crude estimates show that the complete
6-man set will require at least 1 terabyte (1024 gigs). Given that that is over
100 times larger than the complete 5-man set, you can go ahead and do the math
for the complete 32-man set. I don't think there are enough atoms in the
universe.... :-)
