There was a time when a web page had to be optimized for a screen resolution of 800x600 and Internet Explorer because virtually all your visitors had such a configuration. Those days are long gone. The 800x600 crowd is disappearing and IE no longer controls 99% of the browser market. Based on the last 100 unique visitors to this web site, here's a peek at the stats.
