'lots of storage space' for images isn't that true, just few  
terabytes. they're pretty easily cached, and often live outside our  
datacenter. so, not much could be saved. when we buy servers, we  
usually end up buying application and db boxen, which are used to  
produce the dynamic content.

"defeatist" and "realist" don't have that much of differences in  
letters.
maybe I've spent too much time in industry :( I should try some  
liberal arts, gardening, quantum physics, and then return to systems  
with fresh insights.

say... we have lots of flowers.... :)
