But how can you do it?  My problem is that I've designed my site to look good 
at 640x480 and 800x600.  When a friend visited it at 1024x768 he complained 
'cause the text went on and on and the images were too small.  You can see 
the page at http://members.aol.com/reywob/garratts/index.htm
If I fix the text column width for 640x480 then it'll look odd at other 
resolutions.  I can't enlarge the images much either, as that would throw out 
the design at 640x480.
Any ideas?

Peter.
