37 Oh, I got about 86,000 pictures alone. Some I got from the net and some
38 with my camera. I'm a pack rat so if I take a pic, I keep it even if it
39 sucks. I don't have but a few mp3 files tho.

41 I checked with Konqueror and there are 491,319 files and 52,074
42 directories. Since some of those may be big files, OOo comes to mind,
43 10% may not be to bad. Not sure how it would treat huge files that are
44 spread out just because of its size.

46 Still curious? Ask away.
