YEEESH!!! And I thought I was slow with updating to new browsers, monitors, etc.. LOL !!!

I did just read the fine print and that was as of June 2001. I would assume it has got to be at least something the 800 X 600 users are at least used to by now (scrolling over due to design being optimized for 1028 X 768).

I took a look around and found this, for this month

and this for January,

Shows me twice as many people using 1024 X 768 - I think I will keep it optimized for them as that covers 2/3rds of the surfers (between 1024 X 768 and 1280 X 1024).

Very interesting that people even still have 800 X 600, I never would of thought 1/3rd of surfers used that resolution. Surfing the web has to be a bitch for them and I would venture a guess they are using dial-up as well

Hi RyanLanane

You have a very interesting approach to making money. I am sure I will learn something from you. You think out of the box. This is a good thing.

Now…… the bottom line of this particular issue is …… the only reason to design a site with a screen resolution of 800 x 600 is if you want to make the maximum amount of revenue from your site.

If you are not restricted to basing your decisions on revenue streams, then design your site for whatever size makes you happy.

Hey sykkboy

How’ve you been my friend. I think of you often.
