1-2-4

Finally, oh finally, I've finished my high rate tests!! And 2 days early too!!
:)

I knew I had alot of data, as the video files are usually on the magnitude of MB, and every night I could 'hear' my pc sagging under the strain of suddenly having to store so much data. However, I never bothered to check the file sizes until an hour ago, when I've just came back from lab and decided to back up all my precious raw data onto CDs before I go home today.

Guess what? I had one common folder which I had all my data stored in sub-folders and sorted according to test dates. I added the entire common folder to the CD burning wizard but the file size was too big. So I started removing the sub-folders day by day until only one day was left but even then, it was still too big for my CD. Baffled, I started to worry if I have enough CDs and decided to take stock of the total file size.

Then up came the amazing number which left me dumbfounded.

size: 12.4GB

*blink blink*

12.4GB?

*jaws touching the floor*
Oh my gosh!!

12.4GB!!!

Ah... NOW i get the message.
