400 megabytes, probably has 200 to 300 megacharacters. At .003
megacharacters per page ( 3000 characters per page) this is 66,000 to
100,000 pages to print out before the end of the year, or 133 to 200
reams of paper to print by the end of the year.

It will cost you 20 to 30 laser cartridges (about $1,000 ) to print it
out.

I suspect that the laser cartridge shortage problem may be as large as
the Y2K problem solution. Wonder how many trees this represents.
