Also in the "too many files" department, yesterday I was cleaning
up the hard drive on my home machine to make room for more MP3s,
and I noticed that I now have almost a third of a million files in
my personal HTTP archive. [1] (307,620 files as of the end of July.)

This probably sounds like a waste of disk space, but when tarred
and compressed all these files take less than 1.5 gigs, which
costs less than $5 to store on CD-Rs.
These tar balls aren't the most convenient format for these
archives to be in, but I can extract them back out again in a
few years when I have a terabyte of storage on my wristwatch.
