Hello Birdy. I'm writing these becouse I'm a little bit frustrated
about you posts. I'm in a hurry so I'll be brieF !
You say that u use 800x600 and so are using some 60 or 80 procent of people ? Are u old ? or something?! what's with that, most of people are using 17` monitors and yeah by your opinion they use 800x600, I wonder how big is the "Start" Logo on their monitors (10x20 cm ?!). Perhaps u should work on your resolution and then post about other people's work with NEW EYES ON!!!
Please do that becouse u look very involved into this forum.

well if u design for the web you don't have to be so new cause you risk losing the old visitors ok , these are not my words , you can check http://webdesign.about.com/library/weekly/aa111699.htm?terms=Screen+size+for+the+web

it says "Stay current on usage statistics. Even though only an estimated 12% of surfers are using monitors with screen resolution set to 640x480, consider how that percentage translates into actual numbers. Do you want to turn away even 10% of your site visitors? If you have 10,000 unique visitors a month, you will be turning away (or at best, annoying) more than 1,000 people a month. Is that an acceptable situation? "


"According to StatMarket, the majority of people today are browsing using monitors with 800x600 screen resolution. In fact, that percentage of users is now around 55% and appears to be holding steady. Use of monitors with a screen resolution set to 1024x768 pixels is increasing at a rate nearly identical to the rate that the 640x480 screen resolution is disappearing. Apparently, the 640x480 surfers are upgrading to resolutions greater than 800x600 -"

"
Solutions
Ignore 640x480.
By designing only for the middle-of-the-road and higher resolutions, most of your site visitors will be happy and, who knows, maybe Y2K bugs will take care of the rest.
Design for 640x480.
Your design may be limited but no one will have to use that annoying sideways scroll bar. Generally this will be a fixed-width design with pages or tables set to something less than 600 pixels to allow for white space (or less than 545 pixels for WebTV).
Develop separate pages.
Designing sites with additional content for users who are able to accommodate more information on screens set to greater than 800x600 pixels is a wonderful but work-intensive solution. An entrance page allows visitors to make their own selection or an auto-detect script can be used transport them to the correct pages.
Design pages that degrade well.
Target the design for the most common 800x600 pixel width but rather than ignoring 640x480 screens, make concessions so that pages will degrade well on those low-end monitors. This can be accomplished by setting tables or page width to a percentage rather than a numeric value. One problem with this solution is that lines of text can be too wide for those surfing with high resolution monitors and browser windows wide open."
