Don,

If you are sizing a webpage or a computer presentation screen, I would 
suggest that 1064 x 768 is the lowest common denominator that one should 
strive for in today's computer world.  If you want to be safe with older 
computers, then use 800 x 600 as the max.  If it is ham related, I would 
believe that many hams are using older computers at the hamshack 
location (but some others are state of the art fast computers with 
widescreen monitors).  My own hamshack computer is running at 1680 x 
1050 on a 22 inch widescreen display.

73,
