Among my geezer-rants is the one about how the original
Windows tutorial books by Petzold failed to include proper
error checking on the results from Windows calls.  

Gee, it would've made the examples less clear, but it would've 
saved a lot of trouble and future (and lingering) bugs for all
the cut-and-paste programmers out there.
