Onderwerp: RE: Curious browser size...



I use 1152 x 870 at work. It's just personal preference. 1600x 1200 is too
small and 1024x 768 is too big. There are a number of 'unusual' resolutions
available to me. Personally, I think we should be able to define our OWN
resolutions that we are most comfortable with. (but that's just me) There
are a few sites that are designed for 1024 x 768 (I HATE that), but this
resolution allows me to see those sites and still see some desktop behind my
browser window. 

But Jeff is right, It's an exception...not the rule. I just like this
resolution better than the rest.
