The article praised the fact that the E.T.'s had even rounded the last digit (up) correctly. They *also* used an ellipsis at the end to show that "pi is infinite" -- OK, that its decimal expansion is infinite. But these are not very bright E.T.'s, since one should EITHER round the last digit (and indicate that this is only an approximation), OR use ellipsis to show the digits continue . . . but NOT both! --Dan _____________________________________________________________________ "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that certain je ne sais quoi." --Peter Schickele
