How many GB would one file cabinet hold?
My Friend: I need to slow down
Me: O_o
My Friend: I've just used 30 gig's of storage space on music
Me: Meh, that's what you have me for.
My Friend: YES!! I can delete my 30 gigs and make you sing me the song I want to hear?
Me: Yes. Or I can supply you with all of your storage needs.
My Friend: like a filing cabinet?
Me: Yes
Me: You can print off all of your data in binary and save in it a cabinet
My Friend: weak
My Friend: how much does that hold?
Me: Does what?
Me: A cabinet?
My Friend: fo sho
My Friend: is there like 60 gigs?
Me: Lemme calculate
My Friend: are you serious?
Me: Yes
My Friend: do it.
Me: Well, we can say that the average song is 4MB
My Friend: agreed
My Friend: unless it's a Skillet song..cause their like 7, 8MB
Me: 4MB = 33554432 bits
Me: One bit would be a 1 or 0
My Friend: DUDE
My Friend: I just finished my 30.5 GB file of 277 hip hop albums
Me: One printed page hold approx 6460 characters
Me: So one song would take 5194 pages
My Friend: so..for time's sake..we're looking at about a .4 gig file cabinet
Me: Doubtful
Me: Average paper is 24lb/ream or .0048" per sheet
Me: So, we're looking at about 25" of space needed for one song
Me: Looking at my file cabinet of average thickness, I would say that one drawer is about 18" deep
Me: And the average file cabinet has 4 drawers
Me: So we're talking 72" of space
Me: Or 2.89 songs per cabinet
Me: So one cabinet holds about 11.55MB of space
My Friend: lol, holy ****
Me: Or, about .01128GB
Me: Satisfied?
My Friend: what if I wanted 30 seconds of the songs
Me: Well, you'd have to put in some tabs
Me: that way you could just flip to your favorite part of the song
My Friend: good call
