My newest theory is, that the guys behind p2p networks and all those binary newsgroups are well linked to the manufac- turers of hard disks and other mass storage solutions. Even more, the ISPs are playing a role too, as they come up with even faster lines every year that make your disks fill up in no time.
I went to a shop today to have a look at external hard disks. Where once one or two manufacturers had some products available, a multitude of mass storage was staring back at me and begged: Buy me, I will provide endless disk space for you. But looking back how fast my second 300 GB external hard disk filled up I can assure everyone ENDLESS IS OVER QUITE SOON.
