      That's a billion, for people living in countries where their billionaires don't know what being really rich means.

                    I tend not to put too much trust in the wisdom of people who make multiple grammatical errors in clauses as short as "U.S., Canada and modern British".

                      You are correct, my bad, how about ten to the power of twelve?

                              Thank you. All of them are done with javascript and chrome, some with WebGL and some with the 2d canvas, I use visual studio to write them. For a lot of the fractal images, I use this page: Fractal Designer[^]

                                  ... using a "relatively minor dialect of English". Far and away more people use proper English, rather than the Merkin dialect. The point with "milliard" and "billion", though, is that if you use "milliard", rather than use "billion" improperly, you cannot be misunderstood.

                                    I don't care if it is a billon or a trillion. Could you just send me that many (whatever it is) US dollars? I think I'd be ok then and could handle watching the light pulse in the laser all day long and not spend my days trying to outsmart SQL Server! :-)
