 Yes, once you go beyond 80 columns.


I suggest to relax that limit a little, I think 90-95 columns are acceptable

only 80 columns, I suggest you to buy one larger one that allows up to 90.

handle something that has advanced in technology in the last 20 years? ;)

Heh :)  Actually, I was making a subtle jab back at the CRT issue (*I* can 
bump up my resolution ;) ). So yea, I'm still Cranky Kong here...
