1024x768 on one, 1280x1024 on the other.  FYI, in 31 million web accesses
last November, half were 800x600 and most of the rest higher.  Half the
browsers were IE4/5, one third Netscape, three per cent Macintosh, the rest
I forget.

Mostly Netscape 4.7x, IE5 if something won't work in Netscape.

Information, fast loading, consistent design, nice to look at without being
fancy, images where you can get a bigger image by clicking on the small one.


>-       What do you really hate to see in a web page?

Slow loading, useless crap, weird cursors, background music, difficult
navigation, slow loading, popup boxes, slow loading, cookies that aren't
absolutely restricted to the sending site, backgrounds that make it hard to
read the text (most of them...), slow loading, anything that blinks unless
it really IS World War III, too many layers, frames that don't go away when
you leave the site, big images,  ESPECIALLY big images displayed small on
the page, slow loading.
