--- Comment #4 from cjdshaw at yahoo.co.uk ---
All computers use binary internally for storage and calculation. The results
are only displayed as base-10 for the convenience of human users.

The issue could be mitigated by the whole package being rewritten using 128-bit
floats, but all that would do is add more 9's. The issue would reappear if you
made the cell wide enough, and the cost would be a huge amount of work and slow
the whole software down.

If 15 decimal place precision is important to you, a spreadsheet is probably
not the right tool.
