A lot of is is ripped DVDs.  Several years ago I just HAD to have every TV 
show I watch on DVD, which was awesome at the time, but then became a pain 
when you'd be done a disc and *gasp* now you have to get up and change a 
disc.

Now they're all ripped and sitting there on the NAS so I can watch from the 
the Apple TV in the living room or on my laptop in my office when I'm working 
from home.  I have everything from all seasons of Friends, Will & Grace, Star 
Trek: TNG, Voyager & Enterprise (just to name a few) on there to any movie 
I've ever bought ripped.

The next biggest amount of storage is laptop & PC backups.  They automaticly 
backup there over the network and keep a few versions in case you want to 
roll back to a certain point in time.  My Telegard backup is only 240MB so I 
keep a month at a time whereas my laptop backup is just under 100GB.

... Alas! The poor Tagline. I knew it well.
