Hit the weight room, a 30 yo human should be able to carry at least 30 lbs with no problem for a few miles. My daily driver is a P51. You might also consider on of the pieces of luggage with wheels and an extendo handle.

I was speaking of lines of code in a full screen text editor, I'm sure there are many programs that when displayed side by side on a small screen 120 chars would be too many. But let's avoid the strawman here. So 2 terminals side by side 120 chars each, you tried to display 240 per line in actuality? Do i have it right?

The font size and pretty much all settings for displays are highly dependent on eyesight.

We use 120 which seems to work fine even on small screens of about 11 inches.

For the thrill man! If it doesn't have a library you need you create it yourself. Eventually enough people who have the skill to contribute will become interested in Crystal and contribute a library, then one day crystal will replace java. In all seriousness, other than the multithreaded windows support, which libraries are missing?
