This sounds much like what I've made my own practice. I found out the hard
way about taking into account things like the IE side bar (now in N6 too).
"Horizontal Scroll" has long been a pet peeve of mine, and things like that
taught me to be cautious. :)

I have occasionally run across the odd person still using a 640x480
resolution, but about a year and a half ago I made the final "committment"
to 800x600 and haven't looked back. All part of the percentages game I
suppose.
