and there's something to be said for actually finding out what your 
audience uses:
	http://evolt.org/Screen_Stats_1

part two of that article, while 3+ years old, also talks about findings 
from the code in part 1...

and i second the notion that targetting 1024 as your baseline is 
probably a bad idea... especially given the full-screen concept...
