My mother does the same. She has a huge monitor at work yet she still uses 
800x600 because she's far sighted. I have a 15" monitor set at 800x600 and 
I don't see that changing anytime in the near future. Lots of people who 
are just getting computers and not computer literate will just keep the 
configuration that the manufacturers put there.
