I agree Adam... I still design pages assuming the majority of users are
viewing at 640x480 resolution... That used to mean that a page could be 600
pixels wide... But Netscape has been chewing up the live space in some of
it's releases and I'm now aiming for the 580 pixel range... (I thought I'd
seen the last of trims and shrinking live space when I left print! )
