I have a 20" Cinema display for my PowerMac and I usually keep my  
browser windows about 750.  I can almost fit two dif windows across  
the screen that way.

My boss, when he had a 15" monitor, always maxed his browser window.   
Now that he's got a 19", he keeps it smaller as well.

We design pure css pages and set the outermost div for 750 but try to  
use the background of the div for design if the window happens to be  
bigger.

We felt it was just too hard dealing with liquid pages in pure CSS  
across browsers.
