Pointers!

[Joe]

There's a bunch of stuff still rather wrong with this, but eh. If you've seen it before, you've seen the old version, which was even more wrong.

Why do you have an appendix in a one-page article?  Seems pointless. ;)

I'd recommend giving syntax examples, drawing diagrams and mentioning address-of characters.  I didn't take the time to read it, so sorry for any false accusations.

Joe, everything that was wrong before is still wrong.  Why are you trying to teach our readers bad stuff?

[Joe]

It's not quite as bad as it was. =p

/bad pun (cut me some slack, I'm still asleep)

Pointers are a very in depth subject Joe, I really doubt you can make someone that has never heard of them grasp the concept in one page.  That being the case, I strongly believe that the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else.  There are a lot of technical articles about pointers around, perhaps you should read a couple of them before writing a condensed/ less technical version.
