I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

And why of an fg computer in the first place?

The majority of the stuff I access - public at home and government at work - resides on remote servers. If I need something then I get that file and that file alone.

What on earth would anyone want with SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND records?

At 66 lines per A4 page that would be 9090 pages for a one line entry.

It is one mega database and you could play with it all day.

How many successful applicants bank with Barclays?
How many unsuccessful applicants were women?

etc etc.
