I started with 40x24 I think on Apple ][ and then I got a special card that
was capable of 80x24 which was something very advanced by that time :-) On
PC when the EGA screen appeared I always switched to 80x50 or 60 can't
remember, and with VGA to 132x60. Nowadays mostly I am splitting the screen
so actually I would not see too many lines from one file actually, but if I
do I quite like that I can see the entire function at once. Actually I would
prefer if the screen was higher than wider and with some LCD it is possible
to rotate by 90 degrees -- not with my laptop screen though.
