IMHO, I've never seen the use for it. As far as I know, variable names 
should be able to tell you what it holds at a glance. I am however of 
the old school of programming and hence, might not be the best person to 
give my opinion but none the less, I still find that Hungarian Notation 
is a big waste of time.
