this quote:

"Screen resolutions indicate a specific technology and are 
therefore fixed points on a scale. But measurements of viewable 
browsing area fall on a continuum and reflect user behavior. For 
example, a user in one study had a screen resolution of 
2560x1024, but a viewable browsing area of 628x623. (Source: 
Real-world browser size stats, part II.)"

after i wrote that article, i was contacted by the guy who runs at 
that rez... he's on the list... he kinda thought it odd that he was the 
only one who showed up at near those stats...

anyway, thought it was a funny anecdote... never mind...
