No good reason.  I just don't like my code falling off the right edge
of the screen prematurely.

Maciej suggested this change too, probably for the same reason.  So
I've changed this as you suggested.

(I'll get around to the other suggestions soon.  I'm going to try to
get Greg's I/O port changes merged today.)
