As an end user, it drives *me* up the wall when pages use fixed widths. I have 1042 x 768 resolution, the maximum my monitor can do, and it drives me absolutely up the wall when I load a page and either have these great ugly wide empty bits at the side with text that is too small to read comfortably, or the opposite where the page is too wide to fit, and I am forced to scroll horizontally to read it. Setting dimensions as a percentage of the width eliminates these problems completely (except for the font size - it is still too often too small). IMNSHO, setting a fixed width for a column is exceptionally BAD design, particularly from the usability perspective.. > is nothing on the right side to stop the > long flow of one sentence.
