Good grief. The Internet Archive have 14.6 terrabytes of data. Alexa take 'snapshots' of the web and donate them to the archive, each snapshot taking a few months to complete. It's funny, somehow I thought it would take longer than that - I've been through the phase of being surprised about how big the 'net it and have started overestimating. Like when I was tiny and couldn't believe how big the Earth was (I remember confusing people I'd heard of on the news with people in the village), and now it's just sinking in that this planet is really quite small and getting more interconnected every day.
