Me too. Speaking for myself, as a programmer, if I am given a wide-screened monitor to work on, I use the extra space for extra 80-column windows. I think that there is something about the act of programming that lends itself to working with *tall* windows. In my experience, a tall window lets the programmer more easily understand the control flow in a program. My current laptop has a semi-wide-screened monitor. I thought I would like it when I bought it but as time has passed I've come to the conclusion that for my next monitor I'd really prefer something that is taller.
