I was thinking that 32 million digits (the limit of the first program I used) is just too small to really honor pi.  So I found another pi program better suited to the task. I present now the first 100 million digits of pi:

And people bitch about firefox being a memory hog. Wordpad can barely handle opening a text file containing a billion digits of pi.
