I am with Matthew on this one.  Another good reason to design to 640 x 480
is that the text wraps to an easier to read line than full screen 1024 x 768

such large resolutions.

When I had an older system, I always hated having to scroll across to see
the whole image or worse yet, read an entire line of text.

I find it annoying when people want a really wide browser. I like to have

resolutions, I like people to design for width of 640, or worst case 800.
