A BIG problem about to surface is the standard Web-TV resolution, which is
something like 580 x 435 (don't quote me on those numbers). Now I personally
don't see how you can do much serious stuff on such a low res, and frames
are probably out simply 'cause there's not room. Still, I'm sure we'll all
have to manage, or have to scroll...

FYI I use 1024x768 or 1280x1024 to do all the designing, and use a little
utility called Sizer to change the size of the IE / NS window to 640x480 /
800x600 when necessary to view the site at that res. I have put it up on my
site at www.alastair.force9.co.uk/alastair in the "Windows Utilities"
section. It's very useful.
