How big is P.Bio, and how big will it get after a year?
The P.Bio program itself is quite small (about 2 megabytes) but it requires some large supporting data: Themes require 80 Megabytes, Mapping info requires 60 Megabytes, and other support files require about 15 Megabytes. Also, if your system does not have Java installed it will need Java (avaialble free from Sun.com), which is about 70 Megabytes. Most computer systems have Java pre-installed these days though. As for your personal P.Bio data, it is quite small. Even if you lead a very active life with many contacts, pictures, and purchases, and you write quite a lot in your journal your P.Bio data will still typically be less than 1 Megabyte per month (not counting the size of the actual pictures – but the pictures are not part of P.Bio; P.Bio only creates a catalog of your pictures, it doesn’t copy them).
