Hmm... it says at 
http://www.unylogix.com/data_storage/tapes_jukebox/storagetek/9710_sp.html 
that the library can hold up to 41.2TB of compressed data. That's a 
whole lot more than the other site said. It also means we'd be VERY 
inaccurate displaying the library as something that now could "fit in 
your pocket".

Anyone have constructive ideas for how we can display this artifact 
within the context of our new exhibits? (There's no space for a separate 
exhibit of just storage evolution.)
