Yes exactly! But when you're young you don't notice ;-) It's just that 0xFF also ends up the stream. Nowadays it's still possible to seldom spot programs which stop parsing input after 0xFF, and when I see that it just reminds me that they made the same mistake I made, believing that getchar() would return ... a char!
