I think it was true that stuff would fluidly resize back when people
were still treating HTML as a content description language, instead of a
way to get a specific page layout.

I tried out one IE-based browser which did not display part of the menu when
used at less than 1024 resolution (such as the help menu).  Nor did it work
with Win95 at all.  The author did not bother testing it on older hardware
or software.  He sent me a free registration code when I started to report
this sort of bug.

Sometimes if the screen is too narrow to display part of the menu bar,
there's a little arrow on the right edge you can click to get at the
remaining items.

        On measureing the real content area on my good computer, I find
I get close to 14" on the 17" screen.  When I use the old computer
to grex, I get all 13" of the !3" monitor.

Cable modem from Comcast
Mozilla 1.4.1

See the "Browsers Used to Access Google" graph on 
http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html

It looks like the fraction of people using anything other than MSIE is 
tiny, although I suppose Opera (and other browsers?) may count as MSIE 
as far as Google's data collection method can tell.

(Re #59:  1280x1024 is pretty high resolution for a 15" screen.
Doesn't everything look kinda tiny?)

some things are a bit small, but i'm another one of these people who likes to
have multiple terminals and such open.  I also like very large terminals---
120x50 or bigger --- so i like having lots of space :)

my eyes also aren't too bad, so the size doesn't usually bother me.  opera's
got one-key text resizing, also, so it's not hard to fix when things *are*
too small :)

  Weird.  Apple might've tweaked it for some sort of DVD aspect-ratio-related
  reasons.

a long time ago I did, but since ya'll are a bunch of geeks, it was skewed
and didn't represent the avg population as a whole.
