I run two monitors off one computer, and one of them is set at at 600 x 800 resolution deliberately. Yes, those of us who have real computers and real monitors have more than one monitor, and we also know how to use multiple resolutions. What was that you said about a moron???

I think most of the laptop users would appreciate 800x600 or 1024x768. I prefer the latter, with 1280x1024 or better on the desktop monitor.

Those of us who have real computers and monitors with resolutions at or above 1280x1024 find sites like this unworkable. I can't stand seeing the entire page crunched into half my screen. The first thing I did after seeing the beta was send an email to fuss about the fixed width. Reading messages that occupy only 40% of the width of my 1600 by 1200 screen isn't a problem for me--I find newspaper-like columns are easier to read--but the wrapping that occurs on pages like SubjectMarks is unacceptable. Taking up five lines for a wrapped date really obviates the objective of getting more "above the fold." My SubjectMarks page has only five items visible. It's going to wear out my page-down finger and my patience pretty quickly.
