Hmmmmm.

I have to say that bigger isn't always better. I'm not that crazy about

sites that automatically take over my entire monitor (1152 x 870), nor do I

try to stretch 640x480 windows to make the content resize. If a site has

been well designed then there should not be any need to resize as all of the

content should be legible at the original size. However it is important that

the resize facility be made available so that visually impaired users have

the option of making the window larger to aid reading (this is another

matter which deserves it's own thread).


On the other hand I do agree that 640x480 as a standard while not quite dead

is certainly waning.


Just my 0.02

Now trying to get those worms back into that can : )
