RAM usage question: PROGMEM vs const vs #define

@ Coding Badly
I believed static had the opposite effect: creating a variable that wouldn't be destroyed when going outside of scope?

Could be useful, but not in the special need of saving RAM, or am I wrong?

Thanks I'll read your blog.

And to go back to my previous post, I still wonder about the scope of written constants (such as "text" in Serial.println("text");). Does it work in the same way as normal variables (i.e. living between curly braces)?
