  2. Thanks for your site…I was just searching for how ‘Googol’ was really spelled. I’d been meaning to look it up for over a zillion years now and have just had gotten around to doing it!! Now, I must go and find the origins of the ‘Powers of 10′ from IBM. Back to the past and on into the future… so long, SuperMarc
