[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 8080057, member: 6921294"] Like I said its my personal preference. You can call it negative space, I'll call it wasted space. I never had much problem reading the old style portrait with all the tables crammed in them. I will agree that with 3.x I think that was when they went to the highlighted rows without borders which was difficult on the eyes. I could be wrong but IIRC by 3E I had stopped using screens until Kenzer and Co came out with theirs. It was 20-some panels complete with the pizza matrix. That one was really good but admittedly somewhat unwieldy. Surprisingly though once I used it enough I could find stuff quickly. Having been taught to read a single page left to right, top to bottom then move to the next page all my life, I just find that orientation hard to use. I guarantee there's probably been studies done that there is a certain age cut off that prefer the printed page over a computer screen and vice versa. I have trouble reading anything more than a few paragraphs at once on a computer screen. [/QUOTE]
