He's said in the past that it's due to side effects of some
medication he's on.  Either it's true, and he's (sadly) wasting his
time, or it's not, and he's (annoyingly) wasting ours.  (I'm aware
that some people here dismiss the former possibility; I don't care
to debate the point.)

If Bill really wants to learn programming, I suggest that C may be one
of the worst possible languages for him to use.  Of the languages I'm
familiar with, Python might be a much better choice.
