Did you know that mIRC can handle numbers up to 1 * (10 ^ 4932)*? Pretty impressive use of scientific notation: my calculator only goes to 9.9 * 10 ^ 99. So why is the limit on the other end of the spectrum only 1 * (10 ^ -6) (0.000001)? I'd *LOVE* to have mIRC handle numbers close to zero better; I'd use it to calculate the geometric mean of all of my lags... :\ Comments? Should I Suggest this? crazy

* 1.000000000000000809000000000000000000000e+4932

Hmm seems kinda odd that it doesn't, seeing as how the way floating point numbers work, you're supposed to be able to have MANY more numbers as you get closer to zero.
