Shrinking my sets!

[Demon Cleaner]

I also keep the whole TOSEC sets, but here I was mainly talking about BIG files. I have loads of complete sets, I guess almost everything But these other sets were taking up a lot of space, so I thought shrinking them by keeping only what I would eventually play, would be the best. You know how big a C64 set is, well, it's another story with XBox if it takes up 1.2TB.

That's why I never downloaded the whole Xbox or PSX sets in the end. I was tempted at the time the projects were running on BigGamer to build the complete sets, but looking at their size I instantly thought it would be silly do download that much when I probably wouldn't play most of them.

Remember the days when we though a 880KB floppy drive image was quite large? I'm wondering when we reach the point where we think the same for CD and DVD ISOs? CD 650GB files I suppose are not that large now we have fast internet connections as they only take a couple of minutes to download, but a 4.7GB DVD ISO is still a fair chunk of storage.

With the never dropping prices of HDDs lately, could still take longer than we might think.

That is true. The price does seem to be static for a very long time now. Gone are the days where the cost per gigabyte was dropping every 6 months.
