<<The point is that "last significant digit" for any actual use will not occupy 
a computer for long at all.

Oh, in that context not long at all.  Thirty-seven digits would allow enough 
precision it inscribe a circle as large as the known universe approximately to 
within the accuracy of the width of a proton.  :-))

Is there a pattern in pi after the quadrillionth digit?  Dunno, Mike
