How about 2.2 GB of Comes vs Microsoft exhibits? Many of these 3,000 items
(some of which as large as hundreds of pages) give you enough to go away
with... _for a while_.
Here's a fun one, which someone whom I know is gradually extracting all the
text from (for indexing):

In years to come, transparency will increase, whether corporations and
governments like it or not. China has already complained that its
national 'secrets' have been leaked and P2P in the US surely lets those
sensitive files get around. Not to mention many millions of Windows zombies
(in businesses, not just in home) whose hard-drive content are accessible to
merely /anyone/ around the world....
