Joshua, Sure. Those were the good old bad old days.. but size of data isn't really so much of an issue, more important is the ability to be able to process it readily. Of course. any representation of business data in an XML family format can benefit enourmously from compression. I'm always astounded that an 800,000k xml file can be compressed to around 60k. I still think there are some challenges and opportunities with the "source" data, and the programs that deal with it.
