Hi, hi... After 10 years of further joint Celestia chatting, we should all agree to display out photos in this forum;-)

Ras, for example, I picture as a correctly dressed man always with a slick hair cut and a tie, of course...Slightly red hair, yes that could be him;-)

Bye bye Fridger

And yes I am a red-headed stepchild....not a hippy...

Nah really I have little to no hair and wear jeans and a t-shirt...not much for the corporate look :mrgreen:

edit- actually sometimes I wear a scarf, burgandy trenchcoat and black hat ;)

Paul,

3e6 is a number written in one of the numeric input formats accepted by many software packages. In particular, it stands for 3 followed by 6 zeros, or 3,000,000 (using U.S. numeric formatting).

In other words more than 3 million names are on the chip.
