I've got 2 16:10 screens, yielding 8 columns of text ~90 chars wide.

*grin*, I fully concur though, this 16:9 craze is totally annoying. The
worst part is that you cannot even vote with your wallet, its impossible
to buy a laptop without 16:9 screen these days.

fwiw, I didn't mind the 1600x1200 -> 1920x1200 step, that was same
height yet more pixels, yay!

But 16:9 is utter crap, the other totally annoying thing is that people
are forced to use these totally insane low-res screens. Most 12-15"
laptops come with a resolution about equal to the latest iPhone, fsck
that. I want a 12-13" with that same 300ppi ;-)

Screen resolution used to go up, but ever since this HD-tv crap
(720p/1080i should be shot in the head) got popular screen res went
down! /me can't wait for this 4K format to become popular.
