In general, I actually prefer fixed layouts to fluid. I have a wide

Actually, I had forgotten about that, but you're right. I've seen it
mentioned before that shorter lines are easier to read without losing
your place. I guess it was that part of me that was rebelling because of
the wasted space (for example. cnn.com where wasted space is unheard
of). Just so used to seeing the page filled up that I forget it is more
aesthetically pleasing to not have to take in a whole bunch of content.
Anyway, I’m sure we can’t satisfy everyone because we all have different
resolutions and screen sizes and preferences and whatnot. Hey, at least
we aren’t designing for 600 * 480 anymore!
Can we get a huge "AMEN" on that?
