OK, then, how many digits does 5,565,709! have? (1,391,423 are trailing
zeroes, I can tell you that much....)
Since 1,000,000! ran overnight (and had the CPU going at about 50% capacity all that time), I think exploration of anything larger will have to wait until the next time I go out of town, unless someone wants to offer us time on a supercomputer or you want to set up the Brin-L distributed computing network . . .
If you can get me a program to run it,

I'm drooling. And of course you *would* have to put this up in the week leading up to the science fiction convention we drop the most money at every year.... <head bang on keyboard>
That costs a lot more than all the components of my expensive big dream project. (Which is a lot more affordable than I thought, now that I check out pricing on *that*....)
I could do it here.... Not sure how long it would take, but it would get done, anyway.
Less time than it will be before I can afford to upgrade to the latest version, no doubt . . .
Probably. :)
