What's amazing to me is not that it would all fit into one eensy-weensy
device, but that someone was able to amass all that stuff in the first
place!  I am sure much of the material was acquired through traditional
channels, but a guy would be hard pressed to gather such a vast array of
titles without access to say, a massive network of digital files instantly
searchable and downloadable via a high-speed connection.

I don't think the suits really understand.  It's not that it's free (which
it isn't, considering the cost of B-flets for example) -- it's the friggin'
SELECTION.
