We are going to release Pi to a million places as one of our etexts.

However, in the process of doing this, we got interested in some of
the patterns, and also heard that Pi is available to a billion places
somewhere.

I have a spare gigabyte I would like to put it on, if anyone knows where
I might find it, otherwise we plan to calculate it to 100M over Christmas
if Mathematica is accurate enough to do that.  Does anyone know.

Please feel free to repost this note to appropriate places.
