Re: Display size?

Three weeks ago I took over an existing hobby site and I instantly stuck a
tracker on it even though I haven't changed the site yet :-( and :-)

This hobby is for adults (not XXX stuff!!!) but the site is heavily accessed
by the general public and children because of the services provided at a
county park.  I
have been gratified to get these statistics, although not large in numbers,
I think it's a good sampling of what's out there in the non-techie masses.

  800x600    103     55.37%
1024x768     45      24.19%
  640x480     29     15.59%
1152x864       3      1.61%
1280x1024     3      1.61%
 Other            2      1.07%
1600x1200     1      0.53%

What I didn't like was the screen colors:

16 Bit (65K)       92       49.46%
  8 Bit (256)       39       20.96%
 32 Bit (16.7M)   31      16.66%
 24 Bit (16.7M)   20      10.75%
 Other                 4        2.15%

Just thought I'd throw this out for your info.
