Any one who was around in the early Intel days will be very familiar with the fact that 2 + 2 may or may not equal 4. But 2 just might equal 1.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
I'm not and a quick Google search didn't pull anything up other than "The Infamous .999... = 1" from here:

http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/55748.html

With a quick blurb being:

"By the way, there is nothing special about 1 as being a non-unique
decimal expansion. Here are a couple of others:

2 = 1.9999...
3.71 = 3.709999999...
2.778 = 2.77799999999999..."

Nothing about Intel in any of that. I seem to remember hearing about errors in an intel processor many years ago but not specifics. At any rate I'm terrible at math and the advanced extentions of it.

Do we at least agree we all exist?
