If you set a reasonable overall maximum width in em, with lines neither too narrow nor too wide, also measured in em, then the giant display user would have to be using an even more gigantic font size in order for his whole screen width to be filled. The same applies with mini laptop users, who would also have to be using a disproportionately large font size for the content not to fit in the available space without horizontal scrolling. -- "Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle."
