But all These Versions Will Take up Valuable Disk Space!
As I write (Friday, September 25, 2009) one can purchase a terabyte external drive for $cdn100 down the street from me.
That's a thousand Gigabytes.
That's a million Megabytes.
The average size of a workbook on my system right now is 2,500 Kilobytes , and that includes some fairly hefty client projects, not just my fiddly little expenses sheet.
| Average workbook (bytes) | 2,500,000 |
|---|---|
| External drive (bytes) | 1,000,000,000,000 |
| Cost ($cdn) | $100.00 |
| Workbooks/drive | 400,000 |
| Cost/workbook | $0.000250 |
| Medium coffee ($cdn) | $1.25 |
| Workbooks/coffee | 5,000 |
If I've done my sums right, you could store five THOUSAND workbooks for the price of that double-double you scooped up at the drive-through this morning.
