the word Mega......
| Quote: | * mega-, the SI prefix for one million
* "megalo-" means "large", coming from a Greek word with that exact meaning. An example of a word with "mega" meaning large is Megalosaurus
* For the very large number, see Steinhaus–Moser notation

so I guess that if it is confirmed, then the Gimps project is redundant. And I have been wasting 1/2 of my RAC for nuttin
