I also have a laptop, a Thinkpad X31, with a 12" (I think) screen and a screen screen resolution of 1024x768. I am not a *web designer*. I am a computer programmer. I am also an old-school UNIX user and until recently *never* maximized program windows. Now I *needed* to maximize my Firefox window, since almost all web sites just do not work properly with a 600x800 window. *I* think: 1) Web Designers need to have a 'low-bandwidth' Friday, where their bandwidth is cut back to dialup speeds one day a month, to give them a 'feel' for how the web sites they design (don't) work for dial up users. 2) Web Designers need to have a 'small screen' Monday where they are forced to use smaller screens or run at a lower resolution, so they can see how their web sites look and feel on smaller screens. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
