Hmm ... why the heck 65 characters ??? ... Old EGA screens were 80x34 characters, VGA is 80x43 characters ... The reason Usenet standard is 76 chars wide messages (today anyways) is that text-mode readers need the last 4 characters to display window borders and control chars along the message lines ...
You never had a teletype then :)
I seem to recall they packed up about 65 characters across the line until punched cards came in.
5 bit baudot code was also a little restricting ;)
