I wish someone had never come up with that idiotic phrase.

Reminds me of that alchohol commercial (which I just saw today, funnily
enough)...
" Did you saySergio, in Rio?  dark, fairhaired, heavy-set thin guy?"

How about using a longer set of words that convey the meaning precicely,
instead of using only two words, that then require people go download
the pdf ?

I dont remember if it was advocating wide columns, with few disks, or
many disks, with narrow columns.  (or some other layout, even)
"wide thin striping" does not help jog my memory as to the specifics.
