Oh, it could be more than a "file cabinet." A fairly common full-sized bookshelf designed for the home can carry about 200 books fully packed. If we take Cyn's example of 7,000 books, that's 35 fully loaded bookshelves.

No, that's not a file cabinet; that, sir, is a library.

And let's not forget that 1 gb can easily store over 1,000 photos if not twice that amount.
