My web site will be developed in the next 36 hours. I am posting this poll to find out whether or not it is worth taking 800x600 screens into account. I'd appreciate your input. Thanks!

SkyDog... here's a link you may want to check out:
Browser Statistics (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp)

According to that page, the most recent stats seem to be an even split between 800x600 and 1024x768.

As someone who works in web design, I'd strongly recommend designing for 800x600 (or using a fluid design that works for both sizes), unless your site is targetting a specific group such as high-end users or graphic designers.

What Maple Leafs said. My work computer is 1024, but my home computer is 800. That's why I'm always ranting about .400 and their software/site because they assume everyone is on 1024. Not so much.
