Haha, you must be living in a box with a stuffty laptop and wifi. If you cant afford a measly 60 dollar HD from Newegg, I pity you.

How does anyone even fill up a Terabyte?

Our brains are computers that adapted to our needs though. The best example I can give of this is Face Recognition. It can take an electronic computer a good 30 minutes to match a face to another face it might have stored in it's database. For us however, it takes a fraction of a second to recognize a face.
In contrast, mathematical processes like solving complex algebraic problems can take a long time for us, while they could take a few seconds for computers.
So basically a QC wouldn't be all that better then a regular computer in terms of data processing. But the QC would make up for electronic computing's shortcomings by being ridiculously fast in storing/processing information and being able to store allot of information as well. Ultimately we'd need to program a computer to learn like us for it to, well, learn like us. It's difficult when we ourselves aren't exactly sure how our brain works.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather buy something from a more reliable source no matter how expensive it is.
