jon_chaissonWell, funny you should say that.
When I was about 10 or so and just starting in on my record collecting (with all the Beatles releases, natch), I had the occasional dream that there was a room past my parents' bedroom that was a library filled with rows and rows of vinyl, cassettes, and other music formats. I knew this was pretty much an impossibility on a few levels--first, we weren't about to build another addition, and second, I highly doubted I was going to have that much music any time soon. At the time I personally owned about 15 albums and a handful of singles. It wouldn't start growing until a few years later.
Fastforward to 2012:
This is an external hard drive the size of a 3 x 5 index card and about a half-inch thick. It currently holds over 100,000 mp3s ripped from my cd, tape and vinyl collection or downloaded over the last ten years.
So yeah...this was one impossible dream that actually came true, no construction needed!
