Hi Jim:

Reading through some of those stats I think confirms that you still have to 
design pages for 13 to 15 inch monitors - with the move positively towards 
the 15 inch.

In the May issue of Digital Output, an article titled Designing the User 
Experience,  writers Ralph Kimball and Richard Merz stress that you must 
design for the lowest common denominator - even to still consider the old 
28.8 kps modems out there.

As far as updating goes, the authors also state that studies reveal that 
users update to the current release of browsers at a rate of only 1 to 2 
percent a week!
