It is worth noting that Galyn's home machine, and the one that I drove over to get with her and return to Pixar as depicted in the video in question, was in fact an SGI. Not your average "home computer" by any stretch. Although you are correct, there was nowhere near 4.5 terabyte of drive space in that Indigo II or Octane (I forget what she had in her house specifically, although I can ask her if people really want to know). The sum of all the source files (models, animation, shaders, lighting, sets, etc..) was probably in the hundreds-of-megabytes range at that point in time as Loren pointed out in his comments on Quora. I've also added a lot more details to that Quora thread too (http://www.quora.com/Pixar-Animation-Studios/Did-Pixar-accidentally-delete-Toy-Story-2-during-production/answer/Oren-Jacob http://www.quora.com/Pixar-Animation-Studios/Did-Pixar-accid...) if folks want to read more about the whole thing, although it was 14 years ago so my memory is a little foggy on some of the details at this point in time.
