Ick.  I highly disrecommend this book.  It teaches you to debug code that
only a psychopath would write, and warps you into looking for things that
are almost never there.  Stay as far away from such code as possible!

Some could say that this makes me a dilettante, but I prefer my psycho's
on the silver screen, not the CRT screen... :-)
