I've wiped my glasses now :-)
I'm not used to reading B for Billion, and I thought I saw an 8. (Here
in Scandinavia, we adhere to the French convention of 1000 millions = 1
milliard. 1000 milliards = 1 billion.) But it looks like we do agree on
the order of magnitude after all.
Another interpretation leads to reading 4B as 4 bytes, and given that a
byte equals 8 bits, 4B would be the width of a 32-bit integer.
