Every time I read "terabyte", I have to pause, because my brain goes "That's gigantic!" and then a little voice says, "It's the same size as the hard disk in my desktop...it cost $89."

I have the same sort of weird mental disconnect with SD cards. It's just hard to fathom 32GB of data fitting into something about the size of a quarter.

also note that WD (?) have managed to make a terabyte 2.5" disk. Expect high-end laptops to ship with that soon enough. :)
Hey, I know the feeling, it's weird to adjust to but I still haven't filled my 5 Terabytes of space yet so I'm happy. Soon I'm going to offload all my files to a file-server I'm building with an exorbitant amount of HDD space.
