Don't even think CIA has 200 TB of data.

You'd be surprised at the amount of porn available.

Not so! We have a little over 130 TB of just unclassified storage. If I told you how much classified storage we have, i'd have ...

And that's just one service in one theater. There are four services in five theaters.

Personal clouds are pretty common these days, it can either be a client on your PC or a stand alone small headless computer that connects to your home router. Then you can plug in an external hard drive of whatever size you want and wallah! a personal cloud for less than $200 US.

I use a brand named "Tonido", but there are several alternatives. If I had it to do over, I'd probably choose a different brand, the Tonido user interface is a bit cumbersome.

A 130 TB of unclassified material and on top of that illiterate, I suppose that is the definition of Hell on Earth?

Totally off topic, but I can't believe I had to look that up to realise it was NatWest....

Marine Corps, and if you want to include non DoD services there's also the Coast Guard.

Yeah, that's what I meant, but it depends on who you ask. Ask a sailor and they're part of the Navy; but ask a Marine, and they're not.

Oh, OK. In Britain the Royal Marines are a part of the Navy (or, more precisely, the Marines and the Royal Navy are both a part of the Naval Service).

Yeah, that kind of the way it is here to, according to sailors; but if you ask a Marine ... all bets are off.

Marines say the day a sailor passes Parris Island is the day the Navy is good enough to join the Marines.

On the storage topic, I use a 16 gig thumb drive for stuff I change and back up often and leave it with my sister. I have terabytes of things on DVDs Hard drives, but most of it is either insured or meh.
