Yeah wish for the good ol days (Sigh)
When I was a C programmer (and equally haskell, lisp, assembly...) I used a
console and left fonts (and X) to the sissies who liked eye-candy.
Today I work with ruby on rails -- involves at any time 10-15 buffers to be
**simultaneously** manipulated selected from close to a hundred files.

All to be done on a 15 inch monitor (until Monday when my machine was hacked
into when I carelessly left my root open and sshd running!).  Now it wont
boot and so I'm on my 14 inch laptop.



Now what is it you were saying about 80 columns ??
