This last one if printed out is supposed to be 600miles long ... if its a
|
|
normal
|
|
printer 132 columns 60 lines its 63,000 Sheets 21 boxes of paper or 12 Miles
|
|
of paper I guess the 600 miles is for one line in Pica.. Cray-2 and IBM-VF
|
|
Supercomputers
|
|
several months of interupted time. Maybe Pi will come out in CDRom soon.
|
|
Maybe someone can append more to this list or maybe someone from Columbia can
|
|
give a bit more detail on the 500M digits.
