fwiw back in 1999 we decided where I was working that anything below 800x600 was obsolete and not supported. I vote with the "make sure it looks ok at 800x600" crowd. Anyone below that is probably used to having sites look wierd and probably doesnt have money anyway, or they would upgrade their computer. And as they teach you in sales training, a customer is someone who is interested *and* has enough money.
