[Panel 1]
[Bell]
There was another delivery
for you while you were out.

[Nils]
Oh good. More discs.

[Bell]
How many discs do you need, and
will the house stand the load?

[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Oh, they're not growing. It's
just, when a disc fails, I want
to slap in a replacement
before the next one goes.

[Bell]
Otherwise you'd
lose data?

[Nils]
Well, only if three out of eight
fail at once, and then I'd have
to restore from the backup server.

[Panel 3]
[Bell]
Has it ever occurred to
you that you might be
overdoing things a bit?

[Nils]
Oh, sure.

But the alternative is five
hundred quid a month for someone
else's storage, and some of what's
on the server I don't want anyone
official to know I've got.

[Panel 4]
[Bell]
Or, you know, an actual music
or video streaming service?

[Nils]
Nah. Stuff goes away.

At least if I lose it from here
it's because I lost it, not because
some record company has a new
boss and they want more money
for their back catalogue.
