yeah, i know. but obviously, it depends on the size of each pic. i have a 3 MP camera, 20,000 pics would be ~20 GB. i don't know how iPhoto works, but i know it won't handle (nor do i expect it to**) a library that's half my HD.
i'm sure it can handle 20,000 pics if they are all low-resolution, 640x480 pics.
i wish he had quantified it a little better, like assuming 750 KB each or something. (like how capacity of iPod is defined - 10,000 songs assuming 128 kbps, 4 min. per song.)
**i say i don't expect it because it just sounds unreasonable and feels like i'm desparately grabbing every one of steve's words. it's rather silly. keynote is a show he's putting on. he will exaggerate things. he will make some outlandish remarks. that's why i thought it was hilarious people getting pissed around august last year because some people kept on saying how it was the "year of the laptop" but no 15" Al had been released. to me, he said "year of the laptop" because it was january and he just introduced two additional sized laptops - nothing more, nothing less. i didn't expect that statement to mean more laptops would be coming out in the year. i just took it for what it was at the time. fortunately, i was wrong and more laptops were introduced in 2003 - but i didn't get all upset about it being "late."
