Tim, 

Yeah he's totally right, screen resolution doesn't mean they are viewing the
site fully maximised. I don't believe the res stats are pointless though. I
also didn't think the examples were particularly sensible. I doubt the
Google team had layout issues putting a textbox on a page! I also have no
idea where layout will go from here, what with bigger and smaller
resolutions becoming so popular as well.

To be honest I'm sure we could discuss this for hours so I suggest we do it
in person at the next Skill swap or something. Otherwise I will just waste
my day thinking about every different opinion and get nothing done!

Peace and Hair grease...

OK. Screen resolution is a red herring. As monitors get bigger people
are more likely (even on Windows) to run browser windows
non-maximised, making a poll of screen resolutions meaningless.
