Computer storage in T20?

Computer storage in T20?

I have read the rules, but how much data can you store in the computer systems listed? Not run programs, but just raw data? You know, starcharts, people-places-things, languages, reruns of the last year of "Star*Blades", anything?

Since no one else has any ideas, I came up with an easy way to figure out storage space: A computer can store a number of PP in long-term storage equal to it's CPU. If you need additional storage, just used the Experience Data Storage stats, and for every XP of memory, give it another PP of storage.
Not sure what a PP would equal in raw data...

Will have to think on that.

Probably safer not to try to pin this down in real world terms. Every system I can think of that's tried it has looked foolish in just a few years when the state of the art in memory technology overtakes even agressive guesses.
