I'm guess this does not have to be cross-platform?
If not, I'll get something to you probably by tomorrow.

1billion is possible. I'm not sure why others are having problems with RAM.
I can count to a googol no problem, but when you try to save the file (or any other way of saving) I get the 'problem' of not enough memory. as you could see in my previous post it cuts off at about 310M for me, with 2GB of ram.
on topic:
anyways, I'll try to compile an .exe for you to run, but it might take some time to get a 100% user friendly program, if you know what I mean.
good luck everyone ;)
[edit]:
Mail sent...
Ok, stupid me... I didn't get the time for when i started it but I did get a few times if anyone feels like figuring it out.
11:22pm (day 1) - Count was around 44,000
6:00am (day 2) - Count was around 391,000
4:00pm (day 2) - Count was around 917,000
5:39pm (day 2) - Count finished.
This is for 1 Million on a TI-83plus.

1Bill isn't a problem, heck I've done it. (With one of the worst programming languages ever)
I sent mail. My java is so slow. 84 Seconds for 5 million. My VB6 is faster. Still optimizing, trying to figure out the best way to do this.
Hmm, probably depends on how you save your numbers. Java could be slower than VB6, but I think C or C++ should be even faster than basic... since I don't have a lot of experience in C I won't enter for that language, but I think there's a challenge for those who can program in C...
also in my previous post I said I could easily count to a googol when I don't store the numbers... well, that's not entirely true... In my program I use the 'long integer' variable, so I can only count to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 since it is stored in just 8 bytes in the memory... There's probably a workaround for that too, but I don't have to know :P
