Tell you what, Karl -- when you build the device that can store 2^56
I have 1/72nd of that storage capacity in the next room, using off-the-shelf technology. Also, 8GB RAM, and another 300-500GB of 'fast' storage local to the CPU. (Cray C90, 1GW main memory, .5TB drive storage of various types, 9 tape silos) Again, all off-the-shelf technology. Tape robots are a few years old, actually. :-)
