I have not properly communicated the nature of the problem. 800*600 pixel 
displays apparently don't display 600 pixels tall: they display less than 
that. At least, when I develop for said monitor size, my pages end up too 
long. I believe someone on this list was studying what the *real* display 
size was, and was going to report back to us. I hope that is the case.
