> What's an "EB"?An exabyte is a quintillion bytes. Let's say you had a quintillion
Bamsemums that you shared freely with the rest of the worlds
population for the next million years. That would mean about 200
Bamsemums per person per year, so that in order to fulfil the old
saying: "One Bamsemums a day, makes Martijn say 'hooray'", you would
have to ask your girlfriend for her share.
Or you could search for exabyte on the Internet. It is such a high
number that most references simply defines the term.

or Firebird and Firebird Foundation (which you by the way can join at
