I meant I am able to construct an algorithm that is capable of reaching
every expansion of a real number given infinite resources.  However, the
algorithm is never able to write any of them completely since they are all
infinite.  So in one sense, no computation is able to write any real number,
but in the other sense, the program will, given enough time, eventually
start writing out any real number.  Since the infinite must be an ongoing
process I can say that the algorithm is capable of reaching any real number
although it will never complete any of them.
