really?  so what's their window size?

i ask that, of course, because my own research showed that at
800x600, users had a mean available viewport of 719x397, and at
1,024x768, they had a mean viewport of 881x539...

i only say this because resolution is not equal to window size, and
even if the user has the window maximized, let's not forget about
browser chrome (toolbars, status bars, scrollbars, window frames,
etc.)...

my numbers and methodology:
