OK braintrust, Ive got a question for you....

I was talking to a friend today in a major US market where they, on Hard
Drive, record the audio of their 3 stations along with that of 4 competitors
stations 24 hous a day 7 days a week. It is encoded at 192K/44hz stereo.
They purge it after 90 days.

My quesito nfor you smart folk is this... After 3 months of recording 7
stations at 192K/44hz stereo for 24 hours a day.. how big are all 7 "files"
going to be? I know theyre all broken down in terms of date/time, but if you
were to combine them all, whats the file size?

Paul
