Two simple “procedural” contributions:

Table[N[1 - 10^-n, n], {n, 20}]

(with some mysterious rounding at n=15 and 16)

and

Table[StringJoin[Table["9", {n}]], {n, 10}]

I remember that number 9 song! It was bizarre, number nine is the only thing that the guy says the entire time... For a while, I thought I would go mad. So, why did he do it? Ach!

I counted 39 "9"s. I'd love to read the AMM paper--he preprint doesn't give the digits though.
