    Good lord! 49,725,653,888,008,100 bytes? That's what, durn near the equivalent of *-100,000-* 500GB hard drives?

    Wonder how long it would take Windows to do something like a Start | Search | johnny's 1st birthday*.jpg?

    If it took say 15 minutes to defrag each hard drive, how about 2 years, 10 months plus to defrag all of them?
    Code:
    49,725,653,888,008,100 total number of bytes
/      500,000,000,000 bytes per hard drive (500GB)
----------------------
                99,451 total number of hard drives

x                15.00 minutes to defrag each hard drive
----------------------
             1,491,765 total minutes
	
/                   60 minutes per hour
----------------------
             24,862.75 total hours
	
/                   24 hours per day
----------------------
              1,035.95 total number of days

/               365.25 average days per year
----------------------
                  2.84 total number of years to defrag all drives

    Wonder how many watts it'd take to run defrag for a solid 2.84 years?

    Heck, by the time it got done defragging it'd be time for a new, upgraded computer.

    Less than $1500 @ $0.12 / Kwh.
    Based on 500 watt being needed.

    Talking WARNING!

    Okay guys, this is starting to sound like a conversation from The Big Bang Theory (television show) between Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Rajesh!

    I really hope that show makes it, it's fast becoming a favorite of mine.
