this isnt really much of a question, all of the answers are yes. is either you will make a pi program or you dont know what pi is.

Hmm...I already HAVE written a program to calculate a million digits (yay for IA32 assembly!). But since I did 1,000,500 to take care of any round off errors, I then fit in "no more than 1 billion." Yay!
HAPPY PI DAY!!!!!!!!

...Sorry, it wouldn't fit in the link box. I used it to get 128,000,000 digits on my computer. You can get as many as can fit in your computer's memory provided you want to take a load of time to get to it. It took around 5 hours to get to 128,000,000 for me. All you have to do is type in what method of calculation you want to use, how you want the data to be outputted, and how many digits to go to and your done :). Of course, it is explained more thoroughly in the manual.
*Bows before crowd* :-P (But I didn't write it...)

I have written a program called Pi Expansions for the 83 Plus which, while it doesn't calculate pi to any more digits than the display can handle, the expansions of pi are very interesting. Click on the link to download it.
