My browser window (Opera) usually occupies its own virtual screen on my desktop (atached to a hotkey) and fits the whole screen size. There are quite a few sites that I visit that benefit from a wide browser window, such as map services, and a self-written CGI app that I use to manage my digital photos. Also, the side-by-side colored diff view of cvsweb works well with a wide window. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
