<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>
  <p>According to his calculations: 1TByte = 8Tbits<br />
  1 punch card =960 possible holes(bits), 12 rows X 80 columns.<br />
  8Tbits / 960 = 8,333,333,333 punch cards</p>
  
  <p>A punch card is 7.375" X 3.25" X .007" = 0.1677812 cubic in<br />
  1 cubic ft = 1728 cubic in = 10,299 cards<br />
  8,333,333,333 cards / 10,299 cards = 809,140 cubic ft</p>
  
  <p>and so 809,140 cubic ft x 12 = 9,709,680 cubic ft<br />
  (1 cubic mile = 147.2 billion cu ft.)</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Glad to be of help.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>
  <p>Last night I was in the Kingdom of Shadows.</p>
  
  <p>If you only knew how strange it is to be there. It is a world without sound, without colour. Every thing there—the earth, the trees, the people, the water and the air—is dipped in monotonous grey. Grey rays of the sun across the grey sky, grey eyes in grey faces, and the leaves of the trees are ashen grey. It is not life but its shadow, It is not motion but its soundless spectre.</p>
