The Greeks may have forgotten to develop a suitable prefix for a number as large as 1027. Similarly, the developers of the metric system may have neglected to include this figure in their system a la Bill Gates’ often-attributed (but incorrect) “640K is enough for anyone!” The Internet has risen to the challenge and is petitioning to make “Hella-” the SI prefix for 1027.

I see an arms race developing in the tech community for the first person to claim title of having a “Hella-big disk drive.”
For now, I’m sticking with my 1 Terra-byte drive, sufficiently pleased that it is 12,500 times bigger than my first hard drive 20 years ago.
