An art historian has a database of 20,000 full-screen color images.
(a) About how much space will this require? How many CD-ROMs would be required to store the database? (A CD-ROM holds about 600MB of data). Be sure to explain all assumptions you made to derive your answer.
(b) Now, assume that you have access to a good image compression technique that can store the images in only 1/10 of the space required for an uncompressed image. Will the entire database fit onto a single CDROM if the images are compressed?
