I disagree regarding the slowness of 80-column cards.

My Videx Videoterm that was bundled with Microsoft's CP/M card
scrolls faster than I can read.. The only problem is in high 
speed terminal emulation such as 9600 baud- but my IBM compatables
(Compaq and Datavue) can't do that worth a d*mn either! Why buy a
$200 program for a $2500 computer to do the job that a $400 
terminal does better?
