LOL!

I would never go that far out, either - I hope nothing I said suggested we should - only the facts, right?

Vern, I'm all for the idea of more than 80, but if I ever had to read code statements longer than about 120, I'd require a wrap-around panoramic monitor (the single 21" flat screen just wouldn't cut it). Let's keep it within a comfortable field of view, please. Just because we can doesn't mean we should.
