I neglected to call it out explicitly in the text for Part 5: Notice that I use cRepeat to determine how many lines/pages to scroll. This allows us to scroll the correct amount even if we are falling behind on input processing and are missing some autorepeats.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
