I remember my Commodore 64 had a hack where one could double the
character width from 40 to 80; e.g. 4 pixel wide characters!!!
But seriously, here at WEBAPPZ we still tend to adhere to the 80
character width standard; main reason: code legibility.
You do realize that they make 17, 19, even 21 inch or larger monitors
now, right? Right?
:-P
