Hope this isn't too naive a question, but do most Intel-based 
computers that support 800x600 actually ship with 800x600 as the
default?  Our new computer (yeeha! Netscape at home!) supports it,
but I had to go into Control Panel first to re-set it from 640x480.
If our machine isn't the exception, then I bet there are a ton of
people out there who are happily surfing away at the older setting
without realizing there's a higher-resolution setting.
