Also, but that's for me, it's way more readable if it's not that wide. nd -- Gib' mal folgendes in die Kommandozeile ein (und einen Moment warten): net send localhost "Buuuh!"

I'm in much the same mode: multiple 80 char wide windows side-by-side. I would favor keeping the 80 char limit unless the message (code or otherwise) benefits from expression in a wider format. For that reason, not elated about automated post-commit enforcement.
