for surfers, I still design for 640x480 but for webmasters, I go to 800x600
remember too that AOL's browsers don't open full screen, so even if they are running 800x600, their windows don't do full unless they maximize...
I remmeber the shock I got with a client last year...I design what on my machine was a sharp looking site, but when we viweed it in his office, I about shit my pants...they had AOL (with their shitty compression on) a 19 inch monitor at 640x480....the design looked like total shit...now I could have gotten arrogant like most IT nerds and said "well maybe you should set your computer to REAL settings" but I wasn't about to sqaunder a $10,000 contract by being a fuckface about it...so, I had to go back and change a lot of shit...
he and his secretary have poor vision so use 640x480 resolution and believe me, he had more than enough money to spend on internet shopping...
just something to keep in mind when designing...remember, when you're designing, you want surfers to see the pussy, save the fancy designs for the webmasters as THEY are the ones impressed by shiny objects....surfers just wanna see the pussy....
