Just one last answer by me about this subject: Your comparison doesn't
fit. Go invent a new system. Plan it carefully and don't forget
variable width fonts. Write a client for it and call it The Bloat!.
But don't tamper with an existing running system.
Sorry, I don't want to sound angry... As you said, we finally all
agree ;) And, as Marck stated in another posting, there are obvious
reasons for using variable width fonts. I won't reiterate all that
now, just wanted to make clear why the fax/telex example is no good.
Happy christmas!
