Heh.

Quite a valid point. (Though I hope my emails aren't too hideous,
since they're nigh-80 columns, which should just make every other
line a little bit short. :^>)

I haven't got a fancy-pants cell phone that talks PalmOS, just a
Qualcomm number, and I wouldn't dream of trying to read more than a
sentence or two on its shoddy display. But I'm sure we'll all start
to deal with different de facto standards as time goes past.
(Remember my caveat about my saying 80 cols was standard... plenty
of machines think 132 cols is standard. :^>)
