*3.984375 ..........terabytes* Why the brain amazes me. Testing
   out possibilities of my old Microsoft Excel 2000 to see if the
   tool I've been looking for has been sitting in front of me the
   whole time - the one I'm expert at. Check this out:

   65536 rows

   256 columns

   1024 characters can be displayed in a cell addressable using
   =mid

   255 addressable characters (using the =char

   4,380,866,641,920 directly addressable using formulas.

   4,380,866,641,920..........bytes

   4,278,190,080..........kilobytes

   4,177,920..........megabytes

   4,080..........gigabytes

   3.984375...terabytes

   In a SINGLE old Excel Sheet.

   (given enough memory/diskspace)

   This that's awesome, check out this thought experiment:and
   remember:

   this is just a single sheet.

   in a single workbook.

   in a single directory.

   on a single hard drive

   on a single computer

   on a single LAN

   on the internet

   Multiple sheets

   Multiple workbooks

   Multiple Directories

   Multiple Hard Drives

   Multiple Computers

   Multiple LANS

   Multiples of all of these on the Internet.

   Are all easily addressable from a single formula on an Excel
   Spreadsheet.

   AND.. I did not include:

   56 colors

   4000 cell cyles

   or VBA (visual basic for applications)

   which can directly address those dimensions as well.

   or the real total of 32767 characters per cell.

   Nor did I use Unicode

   or further variations accessable via VBA such as

   255 width for column or

   409 points high for rows

   All easily accessible dimensions through VBA. You can pin point
   any cell.

   And... THAT'S JUST LOCATING A byte of information.

   and to top it off:

   I didn't go into this:

   How can you compare the relationship between one byte and
   another?

   geographically? higher than, lower than, to the left, to the
   right, nearer, further away (3d), earlier/later (if you use one
   of these dimensions as TIME).

   What about the way that THREE bytes relate to one another?

   What about how one group relates to another?

   This row compares to that row?

   Or answering questions like, ''How many places can you find the
   word ''Ken'' in this? Or variations of Ken:
   ''Ken/ken/kEn/keN/KEn/KeN/KEN/Enk/enk/eNk/enK/ENk/EnK/ENK/Nek/nek...
   oh I'm tired of doing that by hand...''

   And for all the other things I didn't include... I just wanted
   to show: that... given enough memory or space or processing
   power, you do anything you want on a computer.

   Even interact. Like this. Thank you. -Ken
