Dear Andrew

All programmers are prone to lazyness and presumption.
Any developer runs the risk of creating buggy code. Assumptions that lead to
thinking that an integer value is sufficient to report on available disk
space (hey 2 gig should be fine!). We've all burnt our fingers there!.

Or using a 6 char structure to store a date.

Or creating a static array with allocation for 1000 items (cause no-one will
ever need more than 200 or so!)

Or assuming that a list of items is zero based, whilst it's "-1" based (or
one based)

Oh I forget. C++ does not allow these bugs; The precompiler knows that you
know what you're doing right?

You sound very young to me. I'll let it slip.
