Only a matter of time: 1TB external < $1K US and return of sneaker-net

I've been looking to expand my external storage because of growth in mp3 and movie content. I stumbled across this baby at Circuit City: 1 TB USB 2/firewire for $999 US. Wow.

Notice how the Internet V1 has now basically failed for content sharing? I don't share signficant amounts of content with people by the internet any more, even with DSL lines. When synching up 200 Gig of mp3s, 300Kbps isn't good enough. We're back to tannenbaum and his station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway, also previously known as sneaker-net.
