I hope you did not really mean that! Even HP had to change to an algebraic
input as people really disliked the polish input, stack handling, etc.
And pointers give the C programmer one of the most powerful means [s]he has
to develop efficient code. Who is not able to use pointers correctly should
better try BASIC or stay away from programming at all.
