The MAX had > nothing to do with 80x25 text, neither does a heart monitor. > It doesn't evolve as fast you *THINK* it does for example our system supports over 200 different doctor offices/practices and about 10% still use Windows XP at 1024x768 and *REFUSE* to move to anything newer even after being told that using anything older than Windows 8 is an automatic HIPAA violation (DHS OCR [the office that oversees HIPAA enforcement] has said anything that lacks active vendor support is an automatic violation). About another 20% use Windows 7 and also refuse to upgrade. The console for the monitors (rarely used directly by anyone except for us the programmers) is 24x80 via a USB connector. So yes such screen sizes are an issue for us. -- Aryeh M. Friedman, Lead Developer, http://www.PetiteCloud.org
