So when people come up and and either want to limit you or mockingly say, "Why do you need so much?!" there are good examples to shove in their ignorant faces.
Hum, a lifetime supply is either a whole lot of ammo, or not very much at all, depending on if you actually go to the range on a regular basis or just stick it in a closet. I tend to treat it like ebooks. With ammo, I stick with popular calibre, with ebooks, I stick to what I can remove the DRM on.

My first big screen ebook reader was a microsoft tablet back in 2007, before the iPads came out. Never bought any books from them though.
