Anything in excess of 640x480 is too big for most users. Screen size
is not the only issue - consider also bandwidth. The file size grows
exponentially as an image grows. (Twice the width = 4 times the size,
3x width = 9x size, etc.)
Thumbnails should link to something no bigger than 640x480. If you
want to have a larger version available, have the 640x480 link to
that.
All is IMNSHO... :-)
