12. The four magic constants of the apocalypse: Nothing, Null, Empty, and Error.
12.5 The stupid editor, which by default will put up a whining dialog if you try to leave a line which it recognises as syntactically incorrect.
Like when you leave an incomplete line temporarily to go and copy a long identifier into the clipboard, for example.
12.7 The stupid compiler, which by default does a ?compile? so superficial that you can get runtime errors caused by an If missing its End If.
12.8 Procedures, sorry ?subs,? can be declared Public, Private, or Static. Two points to anybody who correctly guesses what Static does. Three points to anybody who can suggest a sane use for it.
13. Bill is making even more money out of this. And I am powerless to stop him. In fact I am helping him.
