I design for what looks good to me, and (if space is an issue) to keep size
down.  If you design in 24bit, design in 24bit.  The browsers do a decent
job of downgrading graphics (IMHO).  Not everyone is as fortunate to have a
nifty dandy high scale monitor.  I went a long time on an 800x600 256 color
monitor!  (in fact, as long as no one asks for the monitor i'm using now
back, i can keep away from that evil monster :) =20

What I do, is usually include a page describing how I created the pages,
what special techniques, etc... on this page i usually list my reccommended
setup (ie, 1024x768x16bit, with and *ADVANCED* browser... i try to stay
away from any given browser)  Anyway... Hope that helps...

Damon.
