Another correct answer!  Dang, all I can come up with to ask now is the
proper names of both 80 and 96 column cards and why...

BTW, It wasn't that long ago that we had PC XT's with 640K of RAM and a 10Mb
hard drive running 15 applications and no where near out of space.  Of
course, Mr. ("Road Ahead") Gates never envisioned needing more than 640K or a
30Mb hard drive...
