What size grapefruit are we talking here? Using grapefruit bought from my local supermarket (http://www.paknsave.co.nz/upper-north-island/auckland/royal-oak/) I could fit at most 5 vertically, 7 horizontally into the screen of a 27 inch iMac. I’m fairly sure I could fit more 9pt lucm runes on my screen. But while I’m here, for those of you who are fans of Lucida Grande for code, does it never piss you off that [] looks like a box in that typeface, there being no apparent gap between the left and right brackets?
