Hear Hear...Glad someone else said it before I got a chance. Whoever thinks
pointers were a good thing needs to have their head examined. I remember
when Java first came about....people LOVED "no pointers". I remember my
first java class in college back in like, 97 or so, and when they were
talking about how Java didn't have pointers, the whole class broke out into
applause...lol...
