But just in case you do want to consider hardware limits, I do some of my coding on my phone & tablet, both of which are ~80 characters wide at best (or less if I use the phone in portrait mode). I also do some editing/diffing within a cmd.exe window on Windows which is limited to 80 characters unless you do some hijinks in the settings to expand it. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
