Concerning 80-column text, I'm reminded of the Atari ST, which had two issues, as I recall:
1. Some help files were 40-column, some were 80-column, but you had to manually go into the settings to go to a higher resolution.
2. The high-res monochrome resolution actually used a different, more detailed font, for hi-res text, rendering the whole point of the higher resolution null.
