Now that's funny, and sad.

So I just reread the article. Having not been a practicioner of Hungarian in quite some time, and having fallen into the camp that Hungarian is bad mmmkay? I have to say jeez...quit killing this guy over dated content. Back in 1999 this was a great article. People loved it. Nobody likes Hungarian anymore...but why crucify Charles for something he wrote 5 years ago? Actually, this isn't the VBified Hungarian that we have all come to know and hate anyway. This is what is known as "Systems" Hungarian...which actually seems useful, rather than the "Apps Hungarian" which really isn't so much with the useful. Larry started quite the conversation with this post the other day about the differences between the two.

I gave it a 5 to help balance it out :-)
