Smart may not be too bad on the PC, but on the 3B1 it is unuseable. 
Creating a font that fit 80 characters in a *bordered* window makes it
very hard on the eyes.  All those little, tiny characters surrounded by
a Smart window border surrounded by the 3B1 border makes for a very poor
implementation of a product.
