I optimized my site for resolutions of 1024 and higher...I don't care about 800 or 640....We're not in the 90's...

let's talk about recent technology for a minute.

almost any netbook with a less than 9" screen will have a horizontal resolution of 800 or less.
most of these are barely old enough to get dusty yet.
my droid wasn't even available this time last year.
that's 480x854.
on some days i hit more sites with that than my laptop.
3 months ago, the best iphone available had a 480x320 resolution.
as was mentioned previously, there are many who love their 1600 horizontal resolution monitor - so they can display two windows side-by side.
that would be 800 pixels each.

if you want to talk about the 90's, first time i looked at a web site it was probably on a 19" ibm CRT.
it was at least 1280x1024 but weighed over 50 lbs.
