Why couldn't they go positive?

You can count up to 4,294,967,295 with a unsigned long int, and up to
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 with an unsigned long long int with gcc in UNIX
(at least I think you can unsign a long long, never tried) if not you can
get to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 with a long long int.  If that doesn't give
you enough room then go float. Just remember to use %lu, %llu(?), or %f
instead of %d when printing the experience.
