   Linux OpenSuse 11.2 will do me a standard 80x24 console, why can't   
   Windows?! I'm perfectly used to 80x24 for reading long text, I don't   
   see why anyone has to mess around with it.   
      
   Anyways... I will investigate further and get back to you on this   
   ATM it seems like agony, but if I can just get rid of those wretched scroll-   
   bars I'll be okay.

   Okay. But aren't you interested in the internals of Android? It's   
   supposed to be a separate branch of the Linux kernel isn't it?

   No, this is for bedtime, so I have a bedside table and it can't fit   
   another laptop on it. I have 2 radios, a lamp, drinks, ashtray (hell yeah!),   
   assorted toot and only space to perch a phone in. Want to watch music   
   videos whilst laying on my bed :-)

   Okay, well I think the DOS emulator kept crashing when I tried to play   
   Wolfenstein. If you have any results playing Wolfenstein on your phone   
   let me know ;-)
