I typed in the obvious (at least for me) calculation: _10{. ": >: 28433
* 2^7830457x
in J 6.01. Then I minimized the J window, and typed a few emails.
When I opened up the J window again, maybe 10-15 minutes later, the
answer was there. Quick enough for me, considering I spent all of maybe
20 seconds typing in the program... To me, computer time is virtually
free, and my time isn't. I like the idea of spending minimal
programming time, & I don't really care how long the computer takes (as
long as it isn't weeks).
