What about the infinitesimals of non-standard analysis, where ⦾ is an infinitesimal number when ⦾>0 and yet ⦾ < r for every positive real number? Are they unreasonable numbers? Will they ever make an appearance (or be simulated) on OS X?

Mathematica probably has 'em. I observe that they have an entry in Wolfram's math dictionary: <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ NonstandardAnalysis.html>.
