Web Page Default resolutions...

I know that this is super marginally related to 3D, but... To set the 
record straight, I design and build Web pages for a local company, and 
am always reading up on the latest "whatever" because of that. One 
constant I see is that as many as 80% of the world's web browsing 
computers are still running at only 640 x 480 resolution. The few sites 
I have seen that are specifically designed for nothing less that 800 x 
600 (like the 3D-WEB for example...) do themselves a disservice IMO. 
How can you expect to present what you want to present, when from the 
start you ignore the lowest common denominator of your viewing 
audience? A well designed page that fits a 640 x 480 monitor "should" 
look OK at any other resolution, the same can not be said for something 
designed to be larger than that to start... Just another 2 cents worth!
