For the sake of simplicity, say we're typing in a text editor.
(The number of letters in a book is /nothing/ compared to a googolplex :P.) (Oh, by the way, if you use every subatomic particle in the entire universe, as a decimal position, you, ummm, still wouldn't be able to "write" it out.) (A googolplex, btw, is /nothing/ compared to Graham's Number.) ** I think my original post was wrong. 1GB = 10^9 Bytes, 1 Trillion = 10^12 (1TB = 1000GB), 1 googolplex = 10^10^100, so you would need 10^(10^100 - 9) GB of disk space, which is a hell of a lot more than the originally stated 2*10^(12) GB. I did say "at least" though :P.
