Evidently, it is personal preference. I prefer to read computer code 
like a book (yes, I am a weirdo (^u^)). The only time I exced 79 
characters is when I write a set of commands that perform similar tasks. 
I do not make too many lines over 79 char. Thanks everyone for the 
comments and feedback.
