I, for one, find the general layout of this site extremely readable, *because of* the border and the wide margins —it puts the emphasis on the content —especially with the sand-colored background— in a way that a white page with an implicit margin does not.
What this layout does is what borders in general (as in, between countries) do: it contains. In our case, it is the eye that is contained.

For decades Windows programmers have been conditioning people to open an app and click the zoom box to fill the screen, rather than using apps side-by-side.)
Sounds like like those “Windows programmers” did the right thing, preventing us from being inflicted with ADD and losing IQ points and effectiveness by multi-tasking [see various reports on the matter].
