Amiga users may not need (or may not think they need) a TB of space, but there are other uses for such things. Chip design involves large files, and lots of them. Google is increasing email again. Hotmail has zillions of email users. My MythTV PVR box has 580gigs, which sounds like and is a lot right now, but will probably feel a lot less spacious when I get my HD tuner working under Gentoo. I also want to hook a security camera up to this box as there' s been rather more vandalizm near my home than I'd like to let happen.
My first hard drive was 52Megs, my second was one gig that I thought I'd never fill up. Took me a couple months to fill it up... Given the space, people will find junk to put in there and then forget about, like a local disk aminet mirror or something.
