...or in the case of the OP's site, around 925px. If then I maximize my
browser, his site is stuffed to the left of the window. :-(

Depends on whether or not I need the info displayed. I might widen or
maximize *and* curse <g>, or I might just hit the Back button.

It isn't to be forgotten, though. I know several folks with vision
impairments using large monitors at 800x600. One lady has a 21" CRT set
at 800x600, 'cause she can't see much otherwise.

The OP's site doesn't, though. I picked out a few parts here;
#website {
width:920px;
#secondary.outer {
width:826px; <-- 826? <g>
..width100 {
width:100px;
}
..height50 {
height:50px;
(What if he later wants to alter the size? Then he will have to change
all the *markup* to ... <div style="width140">... :-)
body {
font: 11px Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;
...and he hasn't read anything about font sizing yet.
