the most accurate calculation is about 100 billion (100 000 000 000) digits long.
well thats what it when i was in uni in 2000. its probably more now.

Although I'm sure you MEANT pi as a decimal you didn't actually say so, hence the 22/7 is absolutely spot on.
The decimal part of pi is transfinite, NOT infinite, but you would have to be a mathematician to understand the difference.
You don't have to go to Greece to get the symbol for pi on yr keyboard: go to 'Start' (bottom left of yr screen), select 'All Programs', select 'Accessories', select 'System Tools', select 'Character Map'. Here you will find various signs, symbols, and non-English letters that you can program onto your keyboard using combinations of keystrokes; I'm virtually certain it will include the Greek letters, I know it includes Scandinavian ones!

Why is that a stupid question? The link below descibes the determination of the first 206 billion digits. That was 7 years ago, though, so I'm sure someone has done more.
As far as your keyboard goes, I suggest buying one in Greece.

You can get a program called Super Pi that is used as benchmarking software for PC's that can calculate pi to millions of digits.

Well they've figured it out to hundreds of thousands of places, but 3.14159 will do nicely.

22/7 = π
