I have a strange question.  I'm looking for any information/factoid/the 
like that illustrates that information is proliferating wildly today.  
Years ago, I read that if you stuck all the mainframes in this world 
end-on-end, they would stretch from Boston to the middle of the Pacific 
Ocean.  I'm looking for tidbits like that.

Any help would be appreciated.  We are, after all, drowning in data.

Thanks very, very much.
