Darrin (and interested others),
When programming, you would be VERY surprised at how many floating point
calculations a computer application carries out for "everyday software" that
seems like it wouldn't. Many times, functions to combine strings or
manipulate or interpret data require floating point calculations at a very
"low level." I know this sounds like a horrible explanation, but it's
probably because it's 1AM. Go ahead and send another email straight to me
if you're curious for more from a computer science background. : )
