Subject: Re: Avogadro's number
That's a **LOT** of floppy drives......wonder
how long a mole of
floppy
cables would be if laid end to end......
I've guessed they're 0.5m long each (seems about right).
In which case I calculate (or rather my HP48 calculates) that a mole
of
them would br about 32 million lightyears long...
Thus requiring a "Hitchhiker's Garage to the Galaxy" to store them.
