Is this commandment (the code of one subroutine fitting into one screen)
an absolute rule?  What about, for example, assembly-language
programming?  Must I buy a bigger screen? :-)
I will admit that I do very little assembly anymore, so this wouldn't
affect me much now.  I have many routines in C that take up many lines
(more than a screen).  I guess I could "compress" them into fewer lines
since the language allows for that, but there goes the readability! 
Personally, I fail on this point many times.  Sometimes I use more
instructions than required just to make it more perspicuous what the
code is doing, but I suppose that is breaking rule #1 then!
