I wish I could share the screenshot but there's too much proprietary
info on it.  I understand that not everyone has their browser maximized,
but 30% of a 800x600 screen (when their own standards are 1024x768) was
what I got a chuckle out of.  I doubt that many websites could be usable
in a 240 x 180 space -- and expect most users know to increase their
browser size when things aren't visible in a partial state.

I wouldn't be so dismissive of what's going on here. If your client
only showed 30% of the window, how many users of the site will do so?
Do you know? Do you know how many maximise their browser? How many
have toolbars installed? If you're designing to a specific resolution,
do you assume all users have their browsers maximised?

'The fold' does matter, but usually you don't know where it is for any
given user.
