You were saying?

I do agree that the original Times new roman font sucks but I don't understand why floating content in the middle with huge margins on both sides with huge fonts makes it a good design. Maybe its my personal preference to actually utilize my big ass macbook screen instead of having to page through 1 page of content

Actually, I think the second site also uses Times New Roman.

The reason why you'd want shorter line lengths is because long line lengths are less readable. I've seen this mentioned this mentioned online and it appears to be true in my experience as well. Granted, I suppose you could always just resize the window...

I disagree with most of his changes, but limiting line width is such a big improvement it wins out over the previous one. First page ever to inspire me to use custom CSS for HN.
