Hard drive space for OOTP

[BaseballMan]

OOTP8 league files seems to get rather large. Since i dont know if OOTP( will be the same and i want to keep everything but i only have 2 160GB hdd,i went out and bought the 1TB My Book external HDD.
Do you think that will be enough space for OOTP?

Maybe not, according to this dignitary:

But, if you read through those threads and some others, the impression that I get is the game will collapse and burn under its own weight before you ever get to that capacity. Almanacs aside, of course.

so your saying the game collapses into a black hole?

Not always. It depends on the mass of the files.

If the mass of the OOTP folder exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, electron degeneracy pressure will be unable to support its weight against the force of gravity, and the saved game files will undergo sudden, catastrophic collapse to form a neutron star. Only OOTP folders which exceed the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit become black holes.

So, we need to send a search party after Larry Anderson?

I'm sure Bill James will have a measurement for this in a couple years.
