A user that has they're screen resolution set to 800x600 is well used to scrolling.

The school analogy wasn't appropriate-but i think that using 800 as a base width is an extreme view. It depends on the content. Lately Ive been fixing page width anywere between 800 and 950- don't like to go all the way 1024.

If im doing a tourism/lodging site and the page is overloaded with content I will go closer to 1000 but keep all navigation and critical content "in the fold." Some busy sites can be easier to read if the content is given room to breath even if it takes a little scrolling from 2.5% of users. no harm.
