[comp.software-eng] screen size and effectivity

michiel@idca.tds.PHILIPS.nl (Michiel Fierst van Wijnandsbergen) (12/19/89)

Hello,

I seem to vaguely remember somebody in this group referring to
investigations about the optimum screen size for software
developers.
One of the conclusions was that the optimum number of lines on
a screen is about 60.
We are currently discussing several options for our development
environment.

I am interested in any pointers to the original
articles and investigations. Please email to the address
in my signature below. I'll summarize to this group when
enough positive reactions are received.
