I run the latest operating systems, have a modern HP laserprinter, etc. 
And what do they do? 8 column tabs. Do you know that the latest HTML 
browsers default to 8 column tabs for <pre> sections? I run the latest 
Thunderbird email system, and what does it do for text? 8 column tabs.

Using any other setting is like declaring that your inches are really 
1.82 centimeters long.
