I'm referring to their (in)famous Hungarian notation - if that's the correct 
word; it's been a while since I've read those magazines.  ;)

(Speaking about codebases, I'm going to try reading konqueror and koffice - 
while trying to sort out a heap of old Unix and DOS Public Domain source code 
to make something useful from it ... it's there, it's miniscule in terms of 
memory usage, and I being a bear of very small brain, think that small is 
beautiful  <;)
