That's amazing, ako. The 9265 part seems too hard to remember - I think I would

just cheat and remember 9265!

In fact, I just click on the Calculator accessory, and copy and paste Pi from 
there - it has a very long version (3.1415926535897932384626433832795), but VB 
will trim it to the maximum allowed precision.
