Hey, I cannot even compute that number with my builtin CPU and have to
use a synthetic calculator for this: 

(fbar)-> $ python
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Mar 17 2003, 15:17:58) 
[GCC 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 499500 * 4
1998000
>>> 

Oops, that's almost two million steps...

Ciao
