    AK> All modernvideocards suppoort that textmode, and all modern

    AK> 80-character line of text.   
      
   Most modern devices have small screens, for instance, smart phones, tablet   
   computers. Their users use soft like Microsoft windows when they can choose   
   large symbol fonts. If you want to surprise them unpleasantly you can format   
   your text by 80 symbols. ;)   
      
   Bye, Anton!
