Re: Bill Gates

In most places its the american method which is used which is multiples of ten to the power of three. i.e 1 times ten to the three is a thousand, a million is 1 times ten to the 6 (1,000,000) and a billion is 1 times ten to the 9 (1,000,000,000).

Thats the engineering way these days.
