L1$: a second

Hard disk: more than five months



That really is incredible isn't it. I don't mind saying I have difficulty comprehending - really comprehending - such large magnitudes.

Great to hear it in different formats though. I can stare at numbers all day and still not really get it, but the difference between a second and 5 months is as subtle as a punch in the nose. Good stuff.
