> I've seen surveys from around 1998 that show that users mostly had 800 x 600, but that even then 1024 x 768 was fairly typical. And, yes, I know that there are lots of laptops out there, but laptops are often docked on people's desktops, and they aren't on the Internet as much as other PCs, so I'm not too worried about them.
Um, I run *my* laptop at 1600x1200... ;-)
Really, how is CSS not working for you? I prefer sites that don't
design for a target resolution, because I will access it at a variety
of machines, including my PDA and cell phone. If I can't render a site
in a readable manner on my Pocket PC, I have to leave it, which makes
the site 0% usable for me.
Do you happen to have a target audience, or are you doing a generic web site?
