A 2gig limit on the size of a partition means a 2gig limit on the size
of any one file.  Sure, you might think that that is big, but at
300DPI a 24bit scanner would only have to scan about 4000 square feet
to fill a file that big.

4000 square feet is pretty large.  You could make a map of your
office's floor plan at a scale of 1 inch = 1 inch.  Imagine your
entire office complex scanned at 300DPI and in beautiful 24-bit color!
