FWIW - this discussion is occurring simultaneously over on CHI-WEB
(computer-human-interaction-web, and ACM SIG-CHI list). At least one

redesigned back to 640x480.
All the reasons for "lowest common denominator" which have been
mentioned here have come up there -- with a caveat that may or may not
have been made here RE the GVU survey: those respondants are fairly
sophisticated net folks, and yet 25% of *them* don't know their monitor
rez -- >>> that "general population" this is even a larger %.
