While it could be argued that newer computers are shipping at 800x600,
it'd be extremely crued not to attempt to cater to the millions of
computers out there that are still running at 640 res.  One of the
things that is apparent to me on my campus is the amount of computers
that are in 640x480.  Funding doesnt grant much in the way of letting
them acquire much more than a basic system.

As much as I like my screen at eyeblistering resolutions, I have to
agree with you.  I've had to learn to produce at 640 and have gotten
far better results since then.  Though my personal page is quite
another matter :-P
