No!  I _like_ the current console.device.  It's simple, effective, and 
flexible.  If I want a 700x400 character CON:, I can get it (I won't
be able to read it :-).  Please don't limit me to 80x24.  I may _want_
a 40x10 line screen. If you want something fancier, get a different
device (say, an ADM: or VT100: or ANSI: or TERM:), and use that.

The console.device is nice just the way it is.
