Okay, my first question. ;)

Screen resolution:  back in the day, designers made their sites look
good on 640x480 because that's what most people used (only the *ultra
geek* used anything higher than 800x600 ;) ).  Then, of course,
everybody went up to 800x600, and now most laptops (and perhaps
desktops...I haven't bought one in a few years) default to 1024x768.  I
think most designers these days don't even consider 640x480, since
"nobody uses it anymore."

Is that the stance of those wishing to follow Web standards?  Or are
there accessability reasons why we should aim for the lowest of
resolutions, as well as the highest?  For example, when putting tabs (in
CSS, of course) horizontally on the top of a page, do we worry that they
wrap in 640x480 but look good in anything higher?

Thanks.
