Ditto. Except I use 1280x960, because pixels should be *square*. :)


One problem with many web site designs is that they make text go from one
side of the browser to the other. This is fine for one line, but it makes
for painful reading if it's more than that -- especially if it's a whole
article. Newspapers have columns for a reason.

I find a width of about 700 to be generally comfortable, so that's what I
usually stay with.

(...) 'nuff said! I use mostly 1280x1024 and my Netscape is about two-thirds of the screen wide and as long as it can be. Works just fine. Ppl. complaining about to long rows, just narrow the browser a tad, problem solved. /Tobbe (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish)
