Are there so much 80 char only display nowadays? It is a serious
curious honest question...

Usually if you SSH to a distant server you do it
in a 80 char window. I often work over SSH so I
got used to it.

Moreover, it makes it easier to eg. put code
snippets in a book or a manual. Longer lines
(for instance the 132 columns standard) may not
fit in a page.


Dot matrix printers prints 80 column too (in condensed mode 132 columns, if I remember well).
