Vertical space is a limiting factor on how much code one can see at a time. I use old-fashioned CRT monitors with 4x3 aspect ratios and dizzyingly high resolution; I usually work with two columns of code, but can get four if I give up on things like xterms. I still find it rather limiting: I have to remember everything which won't fit on the screen. I've no idea how people manage with these ridiculous widescreen monitors. -- [mdw] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
