How large is the Election 2000 Internet Library?
The total size of the collection before compression was approximately 2 terabytes, or about 1.5 million floppy disks. Stack those disks one on top of the other, and you’ll gasp for air as you climb two miles high. The Election 2000 Internet Library was gathered between the months of August 2000 and January 2001. 797 sites containing election content were crawled several times per week and stored on disk.
