- Some programs for Apple II computers
-
- display 40 letters across the screen.
-
- (We call this 40 columns.) You're
-
- looking at such a display right now.

- Other programs need to display more
- text on the screen. The computer lets
- these programs display 80 columns of
- text across the screen.
-
- Press RETURN to see an 80-column
- display. NOTE: It may look blurry and
- out of focus. We'll explain why in
- a moment.

- An 80-column display doesn't show up
-
- clearly on a normal television. It
-
- doesn't hurt the television; it just
-
- looks fuzzy. To see 80 columns
-
- clearly, you need a display device
-
- known as a monitor.

-
- Actually, a monitor is really nothing
- more than a television without a
- receiver (so you can't pick up any
- old reruns) and a slightly different
- picture tube (so that 80 columns
- appear clearly).
