I've gotten adjusted to 1152 x 864 - I cant cope with
anything finer than that with my eyes -
and the tiny fonts are invisible.

Depends on whether I'm looking at something in a slideshow or
not... in slideshow I can see
one almost as wide as my screen settings but I find it difficult to look
it. - in other words, an image
as big as my screen means I have to back away from my normal focal
length from the computer
so I don't have to scroll with my eyes. (I sit in the back row in movie
theatres)

When I'm looking at photos on the web I like them no larger than 800
across by 600 high and if it
is a portrait oriented shot 600 tall is too tall. (with the borders I
have in my browser)

If there were no way to make them smaller on the site - on smug mug
you can chose the size you want
to view someone's iimages in, which is one reason I chose them for my
web site.
I also avoid any site that has those banners that move across the top or
bottom when you are viewing
one still. In fact, if _anything_ moves on the screen I leave the site,
but that is just my personal
craziness and problem eyes.
