I run a big screen too (1600x1200) but I usually have so many windows open
doing all different things that screen real estate is still usually pretty
tight, and most of the time an itty bitty picture or a half- or quarter-
size picture is all I need to jog my memory about some set...  But I know
what you mean about preferring larger, because it shows more detail and
doesn't look as blurry as the thumbnails.

At home I run 1600x1200, but don't tend to have too much going on at the
same time. At work, I run 1280x1024, but use the Common Desktop
Environment so I have 6 different virtual screens, Netscape gets one,
work gets another, etc. Really keeps the clutter down. The other
advantage at home with 1600x1200 is that I can afford to have my task
bar visible at all times, and it has room for two rows of buttons, which
makes finding windows on it fairly easy.
