Ten Terabytes Transferred
Posted by Michael on 4 December 2004, 04:19 GMT
December 4, 2004 is a date that will be remembered around the world forever. Parades will be held in the streets of New York, Paris, and Pago Pago. Future children will celebrate each year with their parents, holding wild calculator festivals. Why? Because this evening ticalc.org passed further into the realm of undeniable awesomeness with a major bandwidth milestone.
During the period from April 14, 1997 to December 4, 2004, ticalc.org transferred 10 TB of data. That's ten terabytes (equivalent to 10,240 GB). We are currently averaging 6.12 GB of data transferred per day, or 42.82 GB per week. You can find all of these statistics and others on our Web Server Statistics page.
A few other interesting pieces of trivia:
- Hypothetically, it would take a TI-83 Plus approximately 291 years to transfer 10 TB through the link port. If you used TI Connect, it'd probably take a millennium and then crash halfway through.
- The average video rental store holds about 8 TB worth of video data.
- It is estimated that the books of the Library of Congress would amount to 20 TB if digitized. Thus, ticalc.org has transferred "half a Library of Congress".
We wish to thank all of the people who have visited ticalc.org and contributed to this milestone.
