is the server capturing that info?  somehow i doubt it...

but hey, don't despair, there are options available to you...

first, keep in mind that screen size doesn't necessarily equal 
window size...

and then keep in mind that you can parse logs with simple tools 
like Excel (and even create ugly charts)...

that being said, a sample of how you could capture that data (albeit 
in ASP to log using client-side JavaScript to report the data) is at:
