heh, well I'm only running 1280x1024, so that's part of the problem. That's the max this LCD monitor can do. If it had a higher resolution then I'd really be in business. Still, if I were running the same monitor in landscape mode I'd have fewer lines available.

My old tube monitor gave me higher resolutions, and therefore more llines of code. Actually I believe the number was the same as I'm getting now with the screen rotated. The text is more readable however, so I ended up with as much text but in a bigger font (the editor I'm using only has one font, I don't know the size). Still a plus over my old monitor.

edit: oh, and if get rid of the tool bar at the top I get 70 lines. That's not bad at 1240X1028.
