 I've used pointers effectively in assembler routines and I
 actually liked them a lot there but my exposure to them in C
 didn't have nearly the positive results. I found myself getting
 very confused because in assembler you always "know" when your
 using pointers but because of the strong compiler support I
 found I kept getting confused about what was what ;-) In theory
