If I did my math right, 36^8, you'd need to copy down 2,821,109,907,456 serial numbers.
Which in turn is (36^8) * 8 bytes, or about 22.5 terabytes... I think I need a bigger hard drive...
9,697 more to go...
And most of us geeks don't listen to the hard drive manufacturer's marketing ploy to believe the larger numbers, so it is really 20.53 TB 
But your 22.5 Tb is correct when looking at the "exploit" numbers listed on the box of a hard drive......oh but THAT discussion doesn't belong here any more than a CM nerf discussion 
Oh, an array of 92 hard drives at 250 Gb would be required......WHOA.....
