As for screen resolutions being large I find your arguments invalid. I specifically went and looked for recent stats on web resolutions from major web counters and here is what I found:

http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2003/May/res.php
42% 1024 * 768
44% 800 * 600

http://www.servustats.com/screen_resolutionex.php
44% 1024 * 768
39% 800 * 600

There are similar stats on w3schools.org and few other places.

The bottom line being that the prevailant screen resolutions are still quite small and when you add on various browser addons, non-full screen browsers, etc... you get a very limited screen space.

god you just gotta love people who try to use only certain numbers to try to justify their position.

looking at the stats from thecounter.com ( and the ones from servustats.com might even be more favorable ) you also see that the 800*600 resolution will be even less of a factor in the future.

To wit, the 800*600 started out in Jan 2002 with 52% of the resolution size and declined to 44% in May of 2003 - a 15% decline. On the other hand the 1024x768 size increased from 34% to 42% during the same time period a 23.5% increase.

By Sep of 2004 ( less than a year from now and the same amount of time from Jan 02 to May 03 ), the numbers go to 36% for 800x600 and 50% for 1024x768.

Add in the % of screens over 1024 and you see that small screens are also small in number and getting smaller.

If you are going down that road, to justify your design, you are leading FUDForum down the wrong path.

Alas, I forget that, according to you, people cover there screens up with all kinds of things and aren't bright enough to click the maximize button to see things better. Well, my 7 year neice knew how to do it and my 74 year old mother-in-law (who never used a PC until 2 years ago) can do it.

Guess which one is the small screen!

btw, see if you can find the flaw in my numbers...
