 the '\n'? And if it reads the full 16 characters, does it need to wait
 for another Enter?
 
 Also, what if I type, say, 20 characters before hitting Enter. What
 happens with those other 4 characters? are they dropped? or do they
 become the first 4 characters read by the next call to Console.In.Read()?

+ok, so the msdn docs say:
+
+This method returns after either count characters are read or the end
+of the file is reached.
+
+which suggests the current implementation is correct, however, one of
+the other Mono devs volunteered to test this case for me and it would
+appear that this is not how MS's corelib behaves :(
+
+
+<shana> well, msnet 2.0 echoes back the chars and discards whatever
+goes past 16
+<shana> if you hit enter, it interrupts the read and displays only
+those that you wrote before the enter
+<shana> it always needs the enter
+<shana> let me test one more thing
+<shana> if you do read twice, and on the first time you enter more
+than 16 characters, on the second read it will read the extra
+characters plus the enter
