   I'm sure professional C programmers don't have the problem...but   
   for the occasional hobby program, I like BASIC-like languages.   
   If I have the algorithm right, I can usually make it work easily   
   with BASIC.  With C, I spent more time being hassled by the compiler   
   than I did debugging the algorithm.  I exceeded my frustration   
   limit and attention span.   
   I went back to BASIC.   
   Yes, it's clearly my fault, but the result is the same.

   With the breadboards and single-layer PCBs that fall within my   
   attention span, I find that 10-bits is more than sufficient resolution   
   to measure the system noise. ;-)
