Thanks, I didn't mean it as a criticism...
It was difficult for me to let go of good old 800 too, but 1024 is nice, you get used to it real quick.
I'm actually using 1152 now, I tried 1280 but it was too tiny for me to see well.
Nice chatting with you...

I see you're using Yahoo Messenger, does that interface with ICQ?

Well, I see you're skinning for ICQ, so obviously you must use that too...

If you can call what I do skinning! (hehe)

I made feeble attempts at both icq and yahoo!

I have been on a cantankerous computer for ages and it has stifled my creativity a great deal. Perhaps with this new one, I will get back into things, including changing my screen size, (hehe)

Why are changes like that so hard for people like me? So tentative I am!

I should look to my stats to see what is the main size that my visitors use, and make my sites compatible for the majority. It makes sense.

I think that a majority of people are using 1024 by 768, I base that on my own observations so it may not
be entirely accurate.

I haven't had time to really go through your site yet, but it looks pretty well put together and interesting.

I wish to thank you for having a peek at my site. I appreciate that.

Apparently my stats doesn't allow me the information I wanted on screen size, so I went to another section of the site with that information and apparently, believe it or not the top size was 800 x 600 making up 51% of the users...
1024x768 would make up 35%
1280x1024 totalled 6%

The rest were usiing something even larger, or...smaller, hehe

I am sure glad though you brought it up, its something I need to keep investigating on my sites.

Well, that is very interesting indeed, and contrary to what most people were telling me!

Here is my reasoning...
You belong to a community of savvy computer users, and I am willing to bet that indeed the majority use the settings you say.

I am also willing to bet that for the most part that figure I mentioned is likely close to correct, (pertating to my sites) because there is a whole group of people, who use their pc's at factory settings, they are not as knowledgable.

The mails I get, asking for help with downloading and installing skins, you would not believe. I have to teach some what is a .zip file.

I believe you, and what you say makes a lot of sense....
There is an obvious disparity between say the users of this site and the general public...

Journey - "Wheel in the Sky" - 'Wheel in the Sky' - 1978

"I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before to long
I can't take this very much longer
I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin'
It's kissing the day."

"Compassion is asked for, but seldom received,
The ones who should care, sometimes make you bleed.
You cry in the night and noone is there,
Underneath the pain you try not to be scared.

Life is cruel, people are cold.
Society is faceless,
The pain is so old.
You try to bleed less, but they
want to open a vein.

Sometimes all you want, is to come out of the rain..."

Journey - "Happy To Give" - 'Raised On Radio' - 1986

"I was born a believer, played the fool
Lonely dreamer, left to choose
I don't know where the love is, there's a
promise undone
Someone's cryin', in a room all alone
Shadows fall, after the hurt is gone
Through it all, we love and we lose."

"Where is the one, someone who's happy,
(happy to give)
Happy to be with you, it's where you belong,
with someone
Who's happy (happy to give) happy to give
you love."

that makes you happy.
every little thing
that makes you glad."
the secrets that you hide,
I got to know....
Every little thing."

Lady Of The Dancing Water

"Grass in your hair stretched like a lion in the sun
Restlessly turned moistened your mouth with your tongue.
Pouring my wine your eyes caged mine glowing
Touching your face my fingers strayed knowing.
I called you lady of the dancing water.

Blown autumn leaves shed to the fire where you laid me
Burn slow to ash just as my days now seem to be.
I feel you still always your eyes glowing
Remembered hours salt, earth and flowers flowing.
Farewell my lady of the dancing water."

--- Peter Sinfield
