Mac OS X's Magical Undecillion

I was curios how well OS X can say number magnitudes, and while doing so found out something very interesting.

If you do one number less or one number more it will work–just doesn’t like that number. Note: adding any number of zeros at the end and it will continue to crash–but mix zero with any number and it will work.

The fall colors are quite nice this year. Last Saturday I needed to go take and unhook the Number 5 mower from the Model A, so I thought it would be fun to take the tractor on the hill and take some photos as well. Unfortunately, it was overcast and
