If you have such absolute criteria, there will be more than the
usual to disappoint you. There are not too many sites that take
more than 'lip-service' advantage of a huge screen. The fact is
that there are many sites where there is not all _that_ much
material. I feel quite happy for folk to not pretend to have more
than they have, not to crowd as much as pos in one screen, not to
be everything to everyone at all times, to just get something
useful or nice out there.
