Now, now, I *like* Hungarian notation. Of course, I work at M$,
so there is the whole issue of my programming preferences being
controlled by a brain implant... However, before I adopted Hungarian
notation (which I used long before I hired onto M$), I spent a bunch of
time dealing with crap like "what type is DeviceNamePtr? Where the hell
is it declared, so that I can find it?". It's not an evil plot, it's
just a C coding convention.
