Desktop resolution question
Viewing at the voluptuous resolution of 1280 x 800. Mmmmmmmm...just look at all those pixels.

My eyes are too old to see anything past 1024 x 768...
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

You do have to identify your audience which means that catering to the 1024x768 and up crowd is probably ok for gamers...if you have a wider audience, your minimum should be set at 800x600 (Windows XP default).
What he said.

I run at 1024x768 on my laptop which is what I use the most. The family desktop runs at a larger resolution, can't remember what though.

Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

My monitor only supports a maximum of 1024 x 768, sadly...

Well, seems the majority use 1024x768, as i suspected. So that´s the resolution i+ll be cattering for. Since we can´t keep everybody happy, we have to try to piss the less ammount of people off as possible.
I thank every one who bothered to vote and post.
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

That is my laptop's max and I don't want it any higher. If it was, I would need a magnifying glass to read anything off of it.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
